Starting mid-February 2020, we applied these rules for outpatients undergoing radiotherapy: 1) telephonic triage the day before the first admission, and specific clinical triage the day of admission in a dedicated area; 2) daily detailed medical history to detect the possibility of COVID-19 contagion; 3) postponement of non-essential check-ups; 4) medical evaluation or nasopharyngeal swab for patients with rhinitis, conjunctivitis, cough or fever in order to access the hospital; 5) education on hand-washing, no touching mouth, nose, and eyes; 6) couch and mask disinfection after every radiotherapy fraction; 7) compulsory surgical masks for patients, parents and healthcare workers; 8) no volunteers allowed; 9) nasopharyngeal swabs only for people with symptoms or family risk conditions. In most hospitals worldwide, the radiotherapy department is shared by pediatric, adult and elderly patients.	./cache/cord-289179-3zfur0zh.txt	./txt/cord-289179-3zfur0zh.txt
