If reopening guidelines are met, then breast center administration and radiologists should assess the readiness to resume safe operations as outlined in Table 1 

• COVID-19 is an opportunity for breast centers to evaluate current crisis management plans for continuous quality improvement.

• Crisis management plans should include provisions for FDA MQSA regulatory compliance.

• Clinic operations resumption should be coordinated with oncology, breast surgery, and governmental agencies. Local disease burden, staff readiness, and PPE availability must be conducive to safe reopening.

• Clinic preparations should evaluate staff/patient intake process, scheduling processes, and clinic flow for safe continuing operations.
