When I started doing this at the beginning of the pandemic, I reached out to the authors of Livi study and they said that despite the study, they were treating every day without issue. Then, they wrote up their series of patients treated qD. It was effective and safe.

We treat daily. We have compared daily to QOD and shown no difference.

At NYU, we give 600cGy x 5 daily (usually prone). Our experience in more detail here:
