“There are those who are withdrawing from the business entirely at the moment for safety reasons.”

Susanne Bleier Wilp, a German former sex worker and spokeswoman for the Association of Erotic and Sexual Services Providers, or BESD, said the virus has caused fear and uncertainty among the estimated 100,000 to 200,000 sex workers in“There are those who are withdrawing from the business entirely at the moment for safety reasons,” Bleier Wilp told The Associated Press.
One worry is that many sex workers are young and may not be too concerned about infection, while some clients are over 50, putting them at greater risk of complications. Reconstructing chains of infection — as authorities are trying to do when a case is confirmed — could also be tricky. “In the business it's normal to interact anonymously and to use aliases,” said Bleier Wilp."It's a problem.
Some sex workers may be able to rely on savings for several weeks, she said."But it becomes more difficult if the crisis lasts for longer. Then many, particularly those who do it full time, may have to seek help.” In the Netherlands, Amsterdam's famed Red Light District was similarly hard hit after the government on Sunday night ordered the closure of schools, bars and restaurants for three weeks and made a point of mentioning that sex clubs also were affected.
