A central Athens brothel was buzzing with clients on a recent hot July afternoon, and its Venezuelan workers were relieved to have the business.

Sex workers there have had a steady stream of customers since mid-June, when they were allowed to reopen their doors after a three-month ban to control the spread of coronavirus.While most Greeks are social distancing and keeping their contacts to a minimum, many sex workers have little choice but to return to work.

Sex workers are advised to"ensure distance" and avoid"face-to-face contact", while wearing a face mask"could be introduced as part of a game", the rules suggest."It's a joke. How is a girl going to please a customer with a mask on? Should she put a zipper in the mask?" wondered Katerina, who runs another brothel in downtown Athens.

Sheets of blank white paper are taped on the sofas in the waiting room to remind clients to keep their distance. In a dense city, that restriction makes virtually any existing brothel illegal. According to Red Umbrella Athens more than 600 brothels operate illegally in Greece.
