LUSTY NSW-based singles are being urged to go "solo" during the COVID-19 pandemic.
NSW Health is the latest in a string of health bodies from around the world to encourage people to think twice about casual hook-ups.
"The safest form of sex during COVID-19 is solo sex," the NSW Health Play Safe website noted.
"If you're living with your partner sex is probably okay, as you are already sharing space and being in close quarters.
"Sadly, sex with someone outside of your household or bubble still carries risk and is not recommended due to the 1.5 m physical distancing in place."
While not directly ordering people to control their passions, NSW Health has provided tips for those "still having sex with others", including to wear a three-layer mask during the act, and to avoid kissing.
Would-be lovers are urged to follow their instincts, with NSW Health recommending, "if you're unsure of someone's COVID-19 status avoid sexual contact", and to "speak about it" with prospective partners.
Updating your Tinder status with COVID negative could soon be essential for singles.
