Abstract
<p>The task force committee against COVID-19 of the Japanese Society for Transplantation has registered all cases of COVID-19 among organ transplantation recipients in Japan. Details of the survey up to November 2, 2020, were reported.</p><p>A total of 35 recipients were registered, 14 by the end of May and 21 after June. The ratio of the recipients to the number of new infections in general has decreased to one-third since June. The infection route, age distribution, period from transplantation to infection, symptoms at onset, and prognosis were reported.</p><p>On the other hand, according to the report of the Japan Organ Transplant Network, deceased organ donation decreased from March to June 2020, but returned to the same level as usual in September. The mutual aid system was introduced to reduce the risk of medical staff against COVID-19 for organ donation.</p>
