Description	Medical physicists are a tiny part of the medical staff group. Medical physics activities are categorized into administrative, clinical services, education, quality assurance (QA), and radiation safety. Medical physicists in radiation oncology departments perform the acceptance and commissioning of new equipment, dosimetry services, treatment planning, patient chart review, patient-specific QA, etc. Due to their professional characteristics, medical physicists cannot go to the front line in the battle of COVID-19. The outbreak of the pandemic in late 2019 is a global disaster and its great impact in Asia-Pacific has been unmasked in economic and health crises. COVID-19 can create devastating social, economic, and political crises that will leave deep scars. Asia-Pacific's governments and societies should seize the historic opportunity to strengthen public health systems, make online education safer and more accessible, address poverty and social exclusion, tackle violence against children, and create greener, more sustainable economies.
