Since the outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic in December 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has already had a widespread impact on fertility.

It provides a reference for maintaining male reproductive health under the background of normalised prevention and control of COVID-19.
