Patients who receive radiation often visit the department daily for standardized treatment times. Therefore, when an infected person is diagnosed, patients who were treated during the same time or the radiotherapist in the treatment room are isolated and the department is quarantined for 2-3 days. The strict slot system with longer treatment intervals aims to reduce the waiting time for radiotherapy to minimize the chance of patient-patient contact. In Korea, patients receiving radiotherapy are in close contact with the therapist. Therefore, if a healthcare professional is diagnosed, the radiation therapist and doctor close to the patient in the treatment room may also require isolation. Radiation therapists who come into close contact with patients should pay attention to personal protection.	./cache/cord-324314-os1btxx1.txt	./txt/cord-324314-os1btxx1.txt
