The pandemic has posed a great challenge to radiation oncology departments, as interruptions in radiation therapy (RT) increase the risks of cancer recurrence or failure of the therapy as a whole. This study aimed to elucidate the impact of COVID\u201019 on radiation therapy staff in China.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>As many working staff at different radiation oncology departments in China as possible were retrospectively enrolled from 23 January to 9 March 2020. They were then invited to answer a questionnaire, for essential data collection, from which their basic information, anxiety level, and workload were analyzed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Seven (0.39%) of the 1 755 radiation therapy staff who answered the questionnaire had contracted COVID\u201019, all of whom were from Wuhan. The factors influencing susceptibility were not sex (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0 = \u00a01.000), age (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0 = \u00a00.480), or comorbidities (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0 = \u00a00.600), but geographic location (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001) and whether the respondent worked in a designated COVID\u201019 hospital (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0 = \u00a00.003). In terms of protection procedures, four participants carried out basic, one second\u2010level and two third\u2010level protection procedures. The difference was not statistically significant (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0 = \u00a00.720). The infected respondents\u2019 anxiety level related to the outbreak (average score 6.57) was higher than that of their counterparts in Wuhan (5.18), as well as across the country (4.79), and 71.43% of those infected expressed the need for psychological interventions. During the epidemic, departments of 428 respondents (24.39%) shut down, while 76.71% of the respondents reported workload reduction.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The factors related to COVID\u201019 infection were the geographic location and whether the respondent worked in a designated COVID\u201019 hospital.
