The first Covid-19 infection in our department occurred after the contact of our senior staff (C.G.) with a patient in a small sized policlinic room. A few weeks after the declaration of the first case officially by the Turkish Ministry of health, several persons in our department, starting with radiation oncologists, then medical physicists and technicians and lastly the brachytherapy nurse were presented with the classical symptoms of Covid-19 virus infection. Our society has also written a letter to our Ministry of Health stating that limited human resources exist in radiation oncology community in Turkey, and no one in the other parts of hospital has the ability to take place of a radiation oncologist, medical physicist or radiotherapy technicians. ./cache/cord-274018-x50yiq10.txt ./txt/cord-274018-x50yiq10.txt
