On the one hand, I applaud their decision not to use euphemisms and stick with terms that are at least somewhat broadly understood.
On the other hand, an official government agency of Canada has written safety guidelines including the term “glory hole” and I am slain.

A few weeks agp someone locally posted a comment that pointed to a New York (it was somewhere in the US) guideline about sex these days, and it said the same thing, though maybe not using the term.

This does not surprise me. This is the same government that has utterly abandoned the “don’t do drugs” messaging in favour of pure harm reduction and advice for safe use in radio ads.
Things have gotten extremely pragmatic on the health front. Frankly, I prefer that to purity messages that don’t consider human behaviour.
For comparison, we’re taking 4-5 days of 25-30 new COVID cases a day as serious and a sign we may be facing a resurgence. Even adjusted for comparison, versus the US…

Strategically positioned fans…
A couple of fans aimed across < the bed>;
and towards a door or window, where another fan or two exhaust the room. Bonus points for an intake door or window, ‘upwind’ of the action.

What if they’re not really fans and they just like to hate-watch?

Rule 37 says there were already those.
Provinces have their own health agencies - like the States healthcare is mostly not under federal jurisdiction.
