The COVID-19 pandemic meant that the population-based colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programs had to be suspended. Modifications were made to the organization in order to reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission. We report the experience of the Galician CRC screening program and patient safety results. Endoscopy was suspended between 13/03/2020 and 11/05/2020. After resumption, a total of 3,310 colonoscopies were performed (1,702 positive fecal occult blood tests and 1,608 endoscopy monitoring) and no SARS-CoV-2 infections were detected in the subsequent two weeks. Thus, resumption of activity associated with population screening was safe.

COVID-19 大流行意味着基于人群的结直肠癌（CRC）筛查计划不得不暂停。为了减少 SARS-CoV-2 的传播，对组织进行了修改。我们报告加利西亚 CRC 筛查计划的经验和患者安全结果。内窥镜检查于 2020 年 3 月 13 日至 5 月 11 日暂停。恢复后，共进行了 3310 次结肠镜检查（1702 次粪便潜血试验阳性和 1608 次内窥镜监测），在随后的两周内未发现 SARS-CoV-2 感染。因此，与人群筛查相关的活动恢复是安全的。
