[1] concluded that "although all semen samples were obtained in the acute stage of the infection when the nasopharyngeal swab test was positive, we did not detect SARS-CoV-2 in semen." In fact, there are some previous reports showing no existence of pathogen in semen samples [2, 3] . Nevertheless, a recent meta-analysis still noted that there is still a requirement for caution on the possibility of COVID-19 transmission via sexual contact [4] . Investigation of SARS-CoV-2 in semen of patients in the acute stage of COVID-19 infection Italian males recovering from mild COVID-19 show no evidence of SARS-CoV-2 in semen despite prolonged nasopharyngeal swab positivity Atypical modes of COVID-19 transmission: how likely are they?	./cache/cord-309869-gk0svt2f.txt	./txt/cord-309869-gk0svt2f.txt
