Abstract
The massive incidence of COVID-19 has led to reorganization of medical care for cancer patients. While maintaining an individual approach and maximum effectiveness, we're considering the possibility of changing the radiation therapy treatment in each clinical case. Spatio-temporal separation of patient's streams and algorithms for building the radiotherapy department were introduced to minimize the risk of COVID-19 infection of medical personnel and patients.
