The article provides data on epidemiology, aspects of pathogenesis, features of new coronavirus infection in men. The authors announced the international reproduction associations (ASRM, ESHRE, RAHR) recommendations for the implementation of assisted reproductive technology (ART) programs in the era of the pandemic. Different points of view on the effect of testosterone on the disease incidence in men are presented. The importance of sperm oxidative stress and antioxidant therapy for male infertility has been shown. The tasks of an international project for the study of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infection and its consequences on men’s health are outlined.
