  Characteristic length scale of the post-Newtonian corrections to the
gravitational field of a body is given by its gravitational radius r_g. The
role of this scale in quantum domain is discussed in the context of the
low-energy effective theory. The question of whether quantum gravity effects
appear already at r_g leads to the question of correspondence between classical
and quantum theories, which in turn can be unambiguously resolved considering
the issue of general covariance. The O(\hbar^0) loop contributions turn out to
violate the principle of general covariance, thus revealing their essentially
quantum nature. The violation is O(1/N), where N is the number of particles in
the body. This leads naturally to a macroscopic formulation of the
correspondence principle.
