Popis: Background and Objectives: The Ministry of Health as a national authority and several international organizations highly recommend that each IVF clinic conduct reviews for service regulations, and make adjustments for the patient's services according to the COVID-19 pandemic. A survey of IVF clinic management in Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic needs to be carried out so that the results of the survey can be used as evaluation material for the management to improve services safely. Methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted among 49 IVF laboratory staff members of ISHE from 42 IVF clinics in Indonesia. We administered an online questionnaire containing several questions related to the management of IVF clinic services during the COVID-19 pandemic based on a search of scientific literature. Results: Several services adjustments have been made by IVF clinic management in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to minimize transmission of the virus in the IVF clinic.

Conclusions: Several adjustments were made by IVF clinic management in Indonesia as an early response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Clinic managements compile several adjustments to the service regulations during the COVID-19 pandemic as one of the readiness of IVF clinics in providing safe services for patients and staff
