Condom companies are the latest victims of the coronavirus since their sales have taken a worldwide dive as quaratined folks abstain from sex during quarantine.
The news comes a month after COVID-19 concerns caused the globe’s biggest condom producer to shut down. Laxman Narasimhan, chief executive of Durex’s parent company Reckitt Benckiser, attributed the flaccid profit margins to the stringent social-distancing precautions taking a “toll on the number of intimate occasions in the UK,” reports the Guardian.
Since March 23, the UK and other countries have been under a nationwide lockdown forcing couples to choose between quarantining together and isolating separately. Singles, too, have been faced with the prospect of abstinence or being EXTRA cautious with those Tinder hookups.
