On 23 January 2020, Singapore reported its first imported case of the novel coronavirus infection, officially named COVID-19, [AQ1]which was later declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) [1] . The division serves about 61% of the country's population who require radiotherapy, treating about 280-300 patients per day, including inpatients from SGH and other hospitals within the healthcare cluster. Should any patient who is quarantined for 14 days due to close contact with confirmed COVID-19 cases or those with a Stay Home Notice (SHN) due to recent entry from abroad as of 20 March 2020 require radiotherapy, it will be conducted in a highly controlled manner with close collaboration with the Ministry of Health. ./cache/cord-269939-8nvrt5y7.txt ./txt/cord-269939-8nvrt5y7.txt
