Regarding Dr. Faheem Younus’ Tweet, Oncology Doctor Agrees Vaccination to Reduce the Severity of COVID-19 in Cancer Patients

For cancer patients infected with COVID-19, Fielda said that chemotherapy or radiation could be postponed in advance.

In order to increase safety, patients are usually tested by PCR swab before undergoing chemotherapy.

In addition to patients, doctors are also swab PCR every 10 days at the time of the implementation of community activity restrictions (PPKM) levels 4 and 3.

“Since level 2, PCR swab performed every 14 days. Due to the pandemic, one health worker can infect many patients. Likewise, one patient can transmit the virus to other patients,” concluded Fielda.
