| مستخلص: | Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first detected in China in late 2019 and rapidly spread to nearby Asian countries in early 2020. Outbreaks occurred differently in each country and affected nuclear medicine (NM) practice significantly even before the COVID-19 pandemic. The Asian NM community has worked together from the beginning of the pandemic. Fortunately, the Asian Regional Cooperative Council for Nuclear Medicine annual general meeting and Asia Nuclear Medicine Board examination was held in Manila from January 28 to February 2, 2020; these were the last face-to-face events of these organizations to date. Members shared information about COVID-19 at the conference, and through online means afterwards. Web-based surveys performed from March to April 2020 for the Asian Regional Cooperative Council for Nuclear Medicine and Asia Nuclear Medicine Board communities showed a significant reduction of NM practice and supply of radioisotopes (RI) at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. A follow-up survey in March to April 2021 clearly showed the recovery of both NM practice and RI supplies. The pattern of recovery is variable according to institutions and countries. Herein, we have reported the case-in-point operational histories of four representative institutions in the East, Southeast, South, and West Asia. The second outbreak in India is ongoing on a worrisome scale. Various communications and educational sessions were actively performed online in the Asian NM community during the pandemic.
