Abstract: The question of general covariance in quantum gravity is considered in the first post-Newtonian approximation. Transformation properties of observable quantities under deformations of a reference frame, induced by variations of the gauge conditions fixing general invariance, are determined. It is found that the one-loop contributions violate the principle of general covariance, in the sense that the quantities which are classically invariant under such deformations take generally different values in different reference frames. The relative value of this violation is of the order 1/N, where N is the number of particles in a gravitating body.
