In a bid to curb, the spread of COVID-19, a new research report has evolved as couples might be infected by the virus through sexual intimacy

Naija news learnt that a new research report reveals that  some particles of the virus infection in the semen of recovering men.

this online media platform understands that researchers in China analyzed semen samples from 38 men who tested positive for COVID-19. Some had recovered while others were infectious. One in six had traces of the coronavirus in their semen – including those who were no longer sick.

Top infectious disease experts admitted the findings were ‘not surprising’ because viruses such as Zika and Ebola are present in semen samples.
