Veerawat Manosutthi, a senior medical expert at the Disease Control Department, cited a Chinese study warning that semen may carry the coronavirus. Those who believe themselves to be free of the virus should use condoms when having sex, Veerawat said.
For the best safety practice, kissing should also be avoided, since it is known that the coronavirus can spread through the mouth, he added.
As of Thursday, 2,850 people have recovered from coronavirus infections.
