While missing a day or two here or there in these ultra hypofractionated courses should not make a huge impact, facilities should be capable of continuing to treat the (hopefully rare) COVID positive patients in their clinic, at this point in the pandemic.
Treat COVID positive patients at end of the day when no other patients are present, enter through a side entrance, staff in full PPE for set-up with a dedicated person at the console to avoid cross-contamination, then a deep clean of the vault at the end of the day.
