Zusammenfassung:The rapid increase in cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has increased the number of patients undergoing surgical treatment after COVID-19 infection. If possible, it is recommended that surgical treatment should be delayed for at least 7 weeks following COVID-19 infection to reduce the mortality risk.

Here, we report a case of a patient with advanced gastric cancer who underwent surgery 6 weeks after COVID-19 infection with measures taken against nosocomial infection.
