Bordello in a Covid-19 Era

 I got up and watched N-TV news (commercial news) this morning, and there's this one curious story over German hookers and Covid-19.

For a number of months, across Germany....prostitution facilities (bordellos) were ordered to be shutdown because of Covid-19 ban rules.  Well, in the last ten days, the rules changed in a couple of states (not nationally) and business is going to be reopened. 

In Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg....they added some extra rules.  For example, you can only hooker-up, in a actual licensed bordello.  These campers and RV hooker operations aren't part of the deal.  

Second, you can only have a one-on-one situation....meaning one hooker....one customer.  A three or four situation?  Strictly illegal by Covid-19 rules.

Third, facial masks?  Required for both people.  

Fourth, appointments are required.  The idea that you advertise and keep a calendar? 

Fifth, all contact data (on the customer) has to be maintained.  You can imagine Johan's phone ringing, the wife answers, and the authorities explain to her that Johan had spent Thursday afternoon with a hooker who has tested positive for Covid-19.  This probably won't go over well.

Where this leads onto?  The rules added probably will cancel out fifty-percent of the normal business.
