After the gradual relaxation of lockdown measures in Greece, we have managed to provide nuclear cardiology services at patient flow levels comparable to that of the pre-COVID-19 era. The intervals between patients' arrivals at the Department, and between consequent studies, have been extended resulting in the lengthening of the working day. However, we believe that nuclear cardiology departments should be prepared to provide high-quality studies, taking all the appropriate measures for the prevention of viral spread. Proper adjustments based on the epidemic status are required, but a second disruption of nuclear cardiology services should be avoided. ./cache/cord-286238-s64eueie.txt ./txt/cord-286238-s64eueie.txt
