Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the order of life in all fields, particularly in medical services. Laboratory services in sperm cryopreservation that part of andrology or in vitro fertilization (IVF) laboratory cannot be separated with handling sperm from patients. Although the presence of viruses in semen has been known through various studies, there is scarce evidence regarding whether sperm fluid can be a medium of COVID-19 transmission. This raised the question of whether some adjustments to manage patient sperm should be made. This review described an overview of the various efforts that can be made to reduce the risk of disease transmission to health workers who handle patient sperm fluid.
