Abstract Background The outbreak of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has become the most serious global health issue. Isolation policy in hospitals is one of the most crucial protocols to prevent nosocomial infection of COVID-19. It is important to monitor and assess the physical conditions of the patients in isolation. Methods Our institution has installed the novel non-contact wireless sensor for vital sign sensing and body movement monitoring for patients in COVID-19 isolation ward. Results We have collected and compared data between the radar record with the nurse’s handover record of two patients, one recorded for 13 days and the other recorded for 5 days. The P value by Fisher’s exact test were 0.139 (temperature, P > 0.05) and 0.292 (heart beat rate, P > 0.05) respectively. Conclusions This is the first report about the application experience of this equipment. Therefore we attempted to share the experience and try to apply this equipment in COVID-19 patients in future to offer the more reliable and safe policy. Keywords Coronavirus disease .

Background As Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spreads across the world, the COVID-19 pandemic has become the most serious
global health issue and caused huge impacts on healthcare systems. Since COVID-19 is extremely transmissible, the clinical features are non-specific and cannot be easily distinguished from other causes of severe community-acquired
