This report looks at the impact of COVID-19 on cancer screening in 2020, by presenting the number of screens between January and September 2020, and how these compare to the number of screens over the same period in the previous comparable year. The impact of COVID-19 was clearest for BreastScreen Australia which experienced a drop in screening mammograms in April 2020 due to a suspension of BreastScreen services. Since then the number of screening mammograms has increased each month.
