Abstract
Abstract: COVID-19 has caused radical effects on the daily lives of millions of people. The causal agent of the current pandemic is SARS-CoV-2, a virus that causes symptoms related to the respiratory system leading to severe complications. In the in vitro fertilization (IVF) universe, there are several protocols for infection control and laboratory safety. Some professional societies issued guidelines recommending measures involving patient flow and IVF practices. This work presents a review and considerations for the resumption of activities in IVF laboratories and clinics in Brazil in the COVID-19 pandemic era according to the guidelines and statements from professional organizations and societies in reproductive medicine.
