COVID 19: Certain types of sexual activity can be performed while wearing a mask or not wearing a mask. If the female had COVID 19 in July 2020, she should not be contagious from that infection. However, there is no guarantee that a person can't be re-infected. If either of you are actively ill, would refrain from having sex at that time.
