In the wake of the recent pandemic of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), with confirmed cases having crossed 750,000, health systems across the world are getting overwhelmed; making it strenuous to maintain essential health services. Several changes were implemented in our acute mental health care service using a collaborative approach to maintain a balance between preventive measures to 'flatten the curve' and to provide care to those who were in need. Mode of service delivery was changed predominantly to tele-medicine, amongst others. It was found to be a workable model, albeit further follow up will be required to better understand its viability and feasibility to withstand the COVID-19 cataclysm.
在最近的 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行之后，确诊病例已超过 75 万，世界各国的卫生系统不堪重负；难以维持基本的卫生服务。我们使用协作方法对急性精神卫生保健服务进行了几项更改，以在“拉平曲线”的预防措施和为有需要的人提供护理之间保持平衡。除其他外，服务提供模式主要更改为远程医疗。事实证明，这是一个可行的模式，尽管还需要进一步跟进，以更好地了解其在抵御 COVID-19 灾难方面的生存能力和可行性。
