Patients undergoing isolation treatment following COVID-19 are known to report symptoms such as boredom, anxiety, depression and insomnia due to changes in their daily lives. In addition, previous research suggests that these mental health problems will intensify due to limitations in daily living and inefficient use of time during isolation. Accordingly, we expect that when patients with COVID-19 participated in occupational activities during the isolation period, it would have a positive effect on the quality of life and psychological on patients. Most hospitals dedicated to COVID-19do not practice work-based interventions on patients. So, the results of this study would be able to provide evidence-based interventions for positive isolation experiences of COVID-19 patients.

 Supportive Care

1. Face-to-face intervention(Participation in occupational activities)
- Conduct on the experimental group.
- Participate in occupational activities with an occupational therapist (face to face)
- A list(knitting, curling books, figure making, and masterpiece puzzles etc) in which the occupations that can be performed in the isolation room are listed are provided so that the patients can select the desired occupation through face to face interview with the therapist. 
- Occupational therapist visits the isolation ward once a day (20 minutes).
- Conduct 5 times (DAY2~6)

2. Tele-consultation(Participation in occupational activities)
- Conduct on the control group.
- Participate in occupational activities through telephone interviews with occupational therapists.
- A list(knitting, curling books, figure making, and masterpiece puzzles etc) in which the occupations that can be performed in the isolation room are listed are provided so that the patients can select the desired occupation through tele-interview with the therapist. 
- Educate patient and check over the phone.
- Therapist visits the room to provide the relevant product.
- Conduct 5 times (DAY2~6).

3. Medical and conservative treatment
- Isolation and conservative treatment according to COVID-19 response guidelines
- Implemented according to the patient's condition by medical staff
