As a result of the spread of a new coronavirus infection, special requirements are imposed on medical institutions to ensure the safety of patients and medical staff. In ac-cordance with the recommendations of the European association of nuclear medicine, work was carried out on the introduction of preventive examination of per-sonnel, optimization of documentation flow and minimi-zation of direct contact between medical personnel and patients. Patient routing has been adapted, taking into epidemiological standards. The work carried out made it possible to prevent infection of medical staff and pa-tients.
