Of these 15 STIs, 9 patients referred risky sexual behaviour during lockdown. Common sense suggests that social isolation and the closure of leisure venues may significantly reduce the opportunity for casual sexual encounters, and some authors suggested that quarantine and social distancing measures might reduce the incidence of STIs in the future. 4 Therefore, we suggest that visits of STI patients should not be cancelled, making use of teledermatology where possible and visiting any doubtful cases.
