Adult Industry Coronavirus (COVID-19) Advisory
While we know of no cases of the coronavirus among the adult industry, and while the number of cases in major production hubs such as Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Miami remain low, we are asking the adult industry to be extremely vigilant about symptoms and tolerant of those who choose not to shoot.
This is a difficult time for both performers and producers, and we know that many are concerned not only about the virus, but about lost income in the event of a long production hold. FSC is consulting with performers, producers, and other industry stakeholders to discuss strategies and concerns, and provide real-world guidance as to how to best proceed.
We are not yet calling a production hold in the adult industry, but performers and producers should be actively planning for the possibility of one in the future. In the meantime, individual producers and performers should make their own decisions about whether or not they feel comfortable continuing to shoot. This is a quickly evolving situation that affects us all. We ask that everyone be understanding and accommodating during this time.
Most members of the adult industry are not at high risk of severe illness from COVID-19, but you can still contract it and spread it, and that threatens those who are at higher risk. The disease is most contagious before you show any symptoms, so it is important to continue to be vigilant about personal hygiene and to limit your interactions with others whenever possible. We all have an ethical obligation to do our part to slow the spread of this virus in order to reduce the number of people infected and to prevent our health system from being overwhelmed.
