Dr. Osagie Ehanire, Nigeria’s Minister of Health, has revealed that there is a high possibility of coronavirus being transmitted sexually.

Dr. Ehanire confirmed this during an emergency press briefing in Abuja on Thursday, March 26.

According to him, “I believe that if a person is positive, the virus can be transmitted sexually.”

However, scientists have claimed that the virus cannot be transmitted through sexual intercourse except via oral sex.

Scientist Jessica Justman told The Guardian UK that they are not seeing patterns that indicate sexual transmission.

Justman however advised romantic partners to steer clear of each other when there is a confirmation of being infected with the virus.

There are however a lot of research ongoing on the pattern of transmission of the disease.
