I've noticed throughout the entire COVID restrictions that there have been no shortage of escorts operating and still meeting. What is the legality of meeting escorts during COVID restrictions? I assume, being a non-essential service, and being incredibly high-risk for transmission, and zero contact-tracing ability, that it would be utterly illegal and punished with a hefty fine.
I've noticed the media have been up in arms, shrieking about and writing articles about every "COVIDiot" that dares to not wear a mask on a bus. But I've never seen any articles lambasting escorts that continue to operate. Have I missed this?
Do escorts have some immunity to prosecution during the COVID restrictions?
If so, do clients have the same sort of immunity as escorts?
