Prostitutes are to be allowed to resume work but judo and ballroom dancing competitions remain banned under new coronavirus lockdown rules announced in Switzerland.
Sex workers will be allowed to offer services again from 6th this month subject to strict hygiene measures, Alain Berset, the Swiss interior minister announced.
“There are certainly personal contacts but a concept of protection seems possible. I am well aware of the bizarre aspect of my answer,” Mr Berset told a press conference. “To tell you the truth, erotic services could have resumed earlier.”
The move comes as Switzerland announced it will end its state of
emergency and end most lockdown measures next week.
But restrictions remain on large public events and contact sports — which are defined by the Swiss government to include ballroom dancing as well as boxing, judo and wrestling.
Under confusing new rules, training will be allowed to resume for contact sports, even when it involves close personal contact, but competitions and public events remain banned.
Public matches and competitions for other sports will be allowed to resume from mid month for a limit of 300 spectators. As this happens, Kenyan sex worker want the curfew lifted to enable them serve their clients.
“Our clients have been starving for over 3 month now. We plead for the lifting of the lockdown” a sex worker on Koinange street said.
