Patients and medical workers in the event of an pandemic infectious disease usually experience extreme fear, which requires quick and immediate management of mental health. In 2015, the risk of post-traumatic stress disorder in isolated MERS patients and medical staff was very high. Even 4 ~ 6 months after the quarantine was over, anxiety was still lingering in 3% percent of patients and anger in 6.4 % of patients. The negative emotions and stress experienced by the medical staff for MERS patients were characterized by such events as mistakes and delays caused by communication problems. Also, people who were not infected with MERS experienced anxiety at 7.6 percent and anger at 16.6 percent during the quarantine period.Therefore, the need for psychological support for infected patients, isolated people, medical staff and the general public had been proposed during these infectious disease fad periods since MERS. Since the recent spread of coronavirus infection-19 (COVID-19) that began in Wuhan, China in December 2019, thousands of confirmed and dozens of deaths have been reported in South Korea and the number is on the rise. Thus, quarantine measures are currently being taken in Korea to reduce and treat the spread of COVID-19. Thus, psychological support and crisis intervention are needed in the early stages of stressful times to reduce anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. In response, Daegu Catholic university hospital psychiatry department conducted active psychiatric counseling for medical patients who are hospitalized in Corona's management hospital for confirmation of coronavirus infection.
