Infectious diseases have accompanied mankind for centuries, and the effects of their dramatic course are felt on many levels of everyday life. The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus infection carries a tremendous psychological burden for both those infected and health care workers. Particularly vulnerable to psychological strain are paramedics who have direct contact with and caring for patients infected with coronavirus. From a review of the literature, it is known that Emergency Medical Team members, as a result of the stress experienced during a pandemic, manifest symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances. In order to limit the adverse impact of the pandemic on the mental condition of this professional group, it is necessary to create appropriate conditions for solitary rest, relaxation and satisfaction of basic needs such as: food, sleep and protective clothing. An important role is also played by unrestricted access to psychological support in the broad sense of the word and often also to psychiatric care.
传染病伴随人类已长达数个世纪，其剧烈的病程在日常生活的诸多层面都产生了深远的影响。由 SARS-CoV-2 病毒感染引起的 COVID-19 大流行，给感染者和医护人员都带来了巨大的心理负担。在直接接触和照顾感染冠状病毒的患者的医护人员中，尤其容易受到心理压力的影响。从文献回顾可知，急救医疗队员由于在大流行期间经历了压力，表现出抑郁、焦虑和睡眠障碍等症状。为了限制大流行对这一专业群体精神状况的不利影响，有必要为他们创造适当的单独休息、放松以及满足基本需求（如：食物、睡眠和防护服）的条件。不受限制地获得广义上的心理支持，并且通常还有精神科护理，也发挥着重要作用。
