Abstract

The presence of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic1 prompted a structured response across the Johns Hopkins integrated network of radiation oncology facilities in Maryland and the District of Columbia. The department has developed a comprehensive reference document that serves as a resource for our staff and a summary of our response to the pandemic. The document in full has been posted on the American Society for Radiation Oncology “ROhub” web page.2 We present here several excerpts from the overall program document that we believe may be of interest and can serve as a resource to the radiation oncology community at large.
