In March, 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Korea, the first Community Treatment Center (CTC), which is a motel-type Alternate Care Site (ACS) for mild and asymptomatic patients, was opened. This is a case study of the first Community treatment center prepared to respond to COVID-19. One of the researchers worked as a medical doctor in one of the CTCs operated by the Korean government. The CTC's eight medical staff members were interviewed in-depth one-on-one. Then the data obtained from observation, collection, and interview were triangulated. In this study, it was identified based on the 4S factor that evaluates the surge capacity to meet the medical needs of CTC. And how the CTC was operated from a medical and social welfare perspective and what problems appeared to patients during the operation were analyzed. Three dormitories of a national training center were used as the CTC. Each patient used a room equipped with a toilet, a shower, and a washbasin. Medical staff and government officials with various backgrounds were dispatched. Telemedicine was also used to prevent the spread of infection. The CTC made a significant contribution to both medical and social welfare fields. It provided patients psychological stability in a comfortable environment. But some patients had psychological problems and difficulties involving work and family care. Various efforts in conjunction with participation from social workers are required to reduce these problems
