As of April 18, 2020, there have been a total of 10,653 confirmed cases and 232 deaths due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Korea. The pathogen spread quickly, and the outbreak caused nationwide anxiety and shock. This study presented the anecdotal records that provided a detailed process of the multidisciplinary teamwork in mental health during the COVID-19 outbreak in the country. Psychosocial support is no less important than infection control during an epidemic, and collaboration and networking are at the core of disaster management. Thus, a multidisciplinary team of mental health professionals was immediately established and has collaborated effectively with its internal and external stakeholders for psychosocial support during the COVID-19 outbreak.
截至 2020 年 4 月 18 日，韩国共有 10653 例确诊的 2019 冠状病毒病（COVID-19）病例和 232 例死亡病例。病原体传播迅速，疫情引发了全国性的焦虑和震惊。本研究介绍了一些轶事记录，详细描述了在全国 COVID-19 疫情期间，多学科团队在心理健康方面的工作情况。在疫情期间，社会心理支持与感染控制同样重要，协作和网络是灾害管理的核心。因此，立即成立了一个多学科的心理健康专业人员团队，在 COVID-19 疫情期间，与内部和外部利益相关者合作，为社会心理支持提供帮助。
