摘　　要：To the Editor:The current coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)pandemic has resulted in an unprecedented worldwide health crisis.The Chinese government incorporated the syndrome into the B class of infectious diseases stipulated in the Law of China on the Prevention and Treatment of Infectious Diseases,with prevention and control measures implemented according to A class infectious diseases.On February 11,2020,the World Health Organization named the syndrome COVID-19.Subsequently,the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses(ICTV)named the causative virus 2019 novel coronavirus(2019-nCoV).As we have been achieving a deeper understanding of COVID-19,its potential effects on the genitourinary system have gradually gained the public’s attention.The virus itself may have an impact on the male reproductive system,but the impacts of drugs,environmental factors,psychological factors,and other aspects on reproduction during the epidemic period should not be ignored.
