Abstract

Dear Editor, We read the letter to the editor by V. Wiwanitkit with the title "SARS-CoV-2 in semen" [[1]]. We think that even if severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is detected in a patient's semen sample, it is quite difficult to say that the transmission between partners has solely been through semen.
