SARS-CoV-2 RNA could not be detected in semen of recovered and acute COVID-19 positive males. SARS-CoV-2 RNA could neither be detected in semen samples from recovered nor from acute infected subjects. On another note, it is of interest, that although it was described before in the literature that viral infections have a negative impact on semen parameters like 306 volume, number of spermatozoa and motility we could not detect a negative influence of the SARS-CoV-2 infection in respect of the aforementioned sperm count parameters in recovered subjects with mild symptoms. We found no evidence of SARS-CoV-2 shedding in semen of recovered males or patients with an acute COVID-19 infection after a recovery time of 32,7 days on average.	./cache/cord-293688-g6kag5ij.txt	./txt/cord-293688-g6kag5ij.txt
