Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infection caused by a novel coronavirus. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak of a new type of coronavirus COVID-19 a pandemic. The public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic is a comprehensive response to reduce morbidity and mortality, minimize disease transmission, protect healthcare workers, and keep the healthcare system running smoothly. The methodological recommendations are intended for practicing physicians, paramedical personnel, healthcare organizers. For radiologists, sections on semiotics, the COVID-19 diagnostic algorithm, and standards for describing studies of patients with suspected viral pneumonia are useful. Nursing staff will be interested in sections on the rules for using personal protective equipment and organizing work in the radiology department during a pandemic. For healthcare organizers, this manual includes links to current regulatory documents (standards), describes in detail the organization of the work of the radiology department in the context of the coronavirus pandemic, and provides a scheme for optimizing business processes in the radiology department to ensure personnel safety in the current epidemiological situation.
