This systematic review evaluated evidence from published and gray literature on interventions to support self-isolation and mandated COVID-19 quarantine for individuals with SPMIs. Only one study met our inclusion criteria. This study found a beneficial effect of a dedicated isolation hotel for individuals experiencing homelessness and COVID-19-where approximately 25%-50% of the study sample had a mental or substance use disorder. While there has been an abundance of COVID-19 protocols in general, information for SPMIs is lacking. As the pandemic continues and we better prepare for future pandemics, developing protocols for supporting SPMIs in this context is imperative.
