The adult movie industry has been asked by ‘stakeholders’ to voluntary shutdown due to COVD-19 outbreak as the world crumbles under its devastating effect.
In a viral report, the Free Speech Coalition (FSC), the adult industry lobbying group, is calling for an industry-wide “voluntary shutdown” through the end of March.
The statement comes on the heels of California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s call for non-essential businesses to shut down effective immediately, and applies to all performers who are shooting with partners who are “not a part of their household.”
According to FSC spokesman Mike Stabile, the call for a moratorium is “just preemptive.” “The Governor and public health authorities have called for shuttering all non-essential businesses, so we’re doing what we can to flatten the curve,” he tells Rolling Stone. “We haven’t had a COVID-19 case we know of anywhere in the adult community.”
The coronavirus has brought the world to a standstill as more cases get confirmed in other parts of the world. In Ghana, six people have tested positive for the disease so far.
