2019年传染性极强的新型冠状病毒病(新冠肺炎)疫情不仅影响了卫生体系、经济和政府，而且迅速发展成为一场全球健康危机，目前威胁着全球数百万人的生命。一方面，医疗机构正在艰难地试图找到治疗方法，另一方面，各国政府已经出台了引人注目的措施和政策，以遏制疾病的快速传播。尽管新冠肺炎已经达到大流行的状态，主要被视为一个生物医学问题，但有人认为，它也应该被视为一种心理危机。本文还回顾了文献，对隔离的有害影响进行了审查和评论，隔离已被强制作为控制新冠肺炎传播的主要预防措施之一。本白皮书进一步概述了应在不同层面上提出的关键建议，以缓冲隔离的已知不利影响，这对于全球人口的很大一部分被隔离、限制和/或隔离的当前新冠肺炎情况尤其相关。
The highly contagious 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak has not only impacted health systems, economies, and governments, it has also rapidly grown into a global health crisis, which is now threatening the lives of millions of people globally. While, on one hand, medical institutions are critically attempting to find a cure, on the other hand, governments have introduced striking measures and policies to curtail the rapid spread of the disease. Although COVID-19 has achieved pandemic status and is predominantly viewed as a biomedical issue, it is argued that it should also be treated as a psychological crisis. This paper also reviews the literature to examine and comment on the detrimental effects of isolation, which has been enforced as one of the primary preventative measures to manage the spread of COVID-19. This paper further outlines key recommendations that should be addressed across different levels to buffer against the known adverse effects of isolation, which is especially relevant for the current COVID-19 situation, where a large proportion of the global population is isolated, confined, and/or quarantined.
