Since 2019, the outbreak of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) has posed a considerable threat to public health. In addition to the risk of infection during home visits and exposure to community transmission, providing comprehensive care to psychiatric patients has become a major challenge for home psychiatric care. This article not only explains the use of infection control measures during home visits but also uses the four stages and seven levels of public health to strengthen the overall home care mission during the epidemic. The results show that under epidemic prevention and control measures, the readmission rate for home psychiatric care has not increased substantially. Throughout the COVID-19 epidemic, it has become apparent that in addition to caring for patients' physical conditions, clinical medical staff also need to consider patients' and their families' psychological needs and assistance with epidemic prevention measures. In the future, when facing new emerging infectious diseases, it is hoped that epidemic prevention work can begin from the 'heart'.
