Covid times: Online sex replaces Kolkata's red-light area crowd

According to a study by Yale and Harvard students, closure of red-light areas in Kolkata following the lifting of lockdown is a good idea. The closure can delay the peak of Covid-19 cases by up to 36 days in Kolkata. Everyone is scared about physical proximity, resulting in a spike in virtual sex. Money is usually transferred to the bank though not everyone agrees. Sex workers had earlier faced this crisis during demonetization.
