This introduction tees off an outstanding collection of Views and Reviews articles on the effects of the SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 on human reproductive health. These articles written by the experts in the field review the current literature on COVID-19 and male reproductive health, female reproductive health, and the assisted reproductive technology laboratory. Despite the prolonged nature of the pandemic and the number of people infected worldwide, there still are limited data on the effects of the virus and infection on human reproductive health and human fertility. The investigators distill a vast and often conflicting series of reports into a digestible summary to guide patient counseling and institute the safest practices into the assisted reproductive technology laboratory.
这篇介绍性文章开篇就展示了一系列精彩的观点和评论文章，探讨了 SARS-CoV-2 和 COVID-19 对人类生殖健康的影响。这些由该领域专家撰写的文章回顾了有关 COVID-19 对男性生殖健康、女性生殖健康和辅助生殖技术实验室影响的现有文献。尽管大流行持续时间长，全球感染人数众多，但关于该病毒及其感染对人类生殖健康和生育能力影响的数据仍然有限。研究人员从大量且常常相互矛盾的报告中提取出易于理解的摘要，以指导患者咨询，并将最安全的实践纳入辅助生殖技术实验室。
