An ice cream van is seen as people enjoy the hot weather on the bank of the River Thames in London, following the outbreak of COVID-19 in London, Britain, May 31, 2020. LONDON: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government faced widespread mockery on Tuesday over coronavirus rules which were cast by some media as a"sex ban", though a junior minister said the regulations were aimed at keeping people safe.
"What this about is making sure we don't have people staying away from home at night," British junior housing minister Simon Clarke told LBC radio when questioned about the so-called"bonking ban". When asked if the rules allowed couples to copulate outdoors, Clarke chuckled and said:"It is fair to say the transmission risk of coronavirus is much lower in the open air than in internal space, but obviously we do not encourage people to do anything like that outside at this time or any other."
