Wendy Williams ordered to give up sex during coronavirus outbreak

US talk show host Wendy Williams has revealed she was ordered to give up sex during the coronavirus outbreak.

The telly star, 55, appeared on another show, Dr. Oz, last week and she asked TV medic Mehmet Oz whether she can continue to get intimate with partners during the crisis.

He warned the single presenter to "hold out" for the duration of the pandemic.

The segment was due to be shown on Dr OZ, but the show got cut short due to a press conference about Covid-19.

Wendy told People.com about the missing moments, including questions about her sex life.

She said: "When I went to Dr. Oz , one of the things I talked to him about, I was like, ‘Dr. Oz, what do single people, including me, do about sex?’

"Because as much as a wanted woman as I am, I’m not thinking about that.

"I don’t want anybody over here. I think condoms are something random. You know, what about the sweat and the shower?

“He ended up saying, ‘You know what? Hold out. It’ll be over soon.'”

Wendy also asked the doctor about her concerns over whether virus could be transferred by clothing.

She went on: "I asked him about, ‘Do clothes carry the [coronavirus]?’

"I get in the elevator, I press with my elbow, I pull my sleeve down and press with the material.

"Then, as far as clothing, he said, ‘Yes! The germs last for two hours.’

"Two hours, darling do you realize when you get out of the subway or your Uber or whatever you’re doing outside.

"You come inside, you sit on your cloth couch with your clothing on - you’re transferring the stuff!”
