Dr Alex George has finally lifted the lid on the questions we all need answers to.<\/p>\n
The former Love Island star and A&E doctor, 27, has been busy fighting the coronavirus on the frontline for the past number of weeks. <\/p>\n
While the world has stopped, individuals are glued to the news, and are terrified to even leave the house, let alone get involved in any sexual activity.<\/p>\n
Dr Alex has finally divulged into whether it's safe to have sex during the pandemic to the BBC, alongside sex journalist Alix Fox. <\/p>\n
According to the famous doctor, when it comes to getting down and dirty while you're in a relationship, it's acceptable.<\/p>\n
As long as both individuals are self isolating together, living together and sharing the same environment, the situation shouldn't change.<\/p>\n
However if one partner is displaying symptoms of the deadly coronavirus, then they should maintain social-distancing and isolate, even within your home.<\/p>\n
In that case, sex goes completely out the window.<\/p>\n
When it comes to getting intimate with new parters, the former Love Island star highly urges fans to refrain from getting close.<\/p>\n
\"I certainly wouldn't advise having new sexual partners at the moment, because the risk is you could pass on the virus\".<\/p>\n
BBC Radio 1's Unexpected Fluids presenter, Alix Fox reiterates this conclusion by claiming that certain individuals may be carrying the virus without even knowing.<\/p>\n
The presenter explains: \"Even if you feel absolutely fine you could still pass on the infection to someone and they could pass it on to other people via close contact and kissing\".<\/p>\n
In terms of catching the coronavirus by touching a partner 'down there', Dr Alex doesn't rule anything out.<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old says that if two partners are going to touch one another's genitals, then they are likely to be kissing too.<\/p>\n
According to the Doc, by doing this, one could most definetly contract the highly contagious virus as it's passed on through saliva.<\/p>\n
Essentially, any possibility of transfer of coronavirus - from your mouth to your hands, to genitals, to someone else's nose or mouth - increases the risk of passing on coronavirus.<\/p>\n
At the moment, the NHS's main aim is to cut this back to the absolute minimum, so in that case, no contact between a partner that you're not living with is really important.<\/p>\n
Dr Alex has vowed to beat coronavirus as he continues to work on the frontline for the NHS.<\/p>\n
The Love Island star and A&E doctor sent out a strong message to his followers as he posed up in a hospital corridor dressed in scrubs, a face mask and a disposable cap. <\/p>\n
He wrote on Instagram : \"Covid-19 WILL NOT win. The NHS is SO resilient and we can and WILL do this. <\/p>\n
\"An update from the frontline, as well as the latest information on when widespread testing likely to occur, is live on my YouTube channel. Link is in bio\"<\/p>\n
He also thanked the nation for their support of NHS workers, adding: \"The support from you all is unreal and its being heard, believe me. It means so much to all NHS staff\".<\/p>\n
