In the time of Pandemic, it is hard to spend a long time in field research. Carrying out ethnography is very hard in these hard times. Patchwork ethnography might be a good option but there are certain methodological issues too. One can share his/her better understanding here.
I had not heard of this; are these papers of any help?:

I expect others will respond who are more knowledgeable than me and can speak from their experiences in using this method, but perhaps these will help in the meantime.
I will be interested to follow their responses.
Ethnographic study requires time to study interracial and tribal influences in the behaviour of people in the society. These may help to understand how people in a particular society may respond to the study in mental health; hence, it is appropriate methodology to used in mental health related researches.
The Corona virus pandemic provides a world wide opportunity to reset one's value system. Specifically via the understanding of one's Beliefs, Love, and Hope.
As such a forensic simulator has been built in which to provide for such and understanding. This understanding must satisfy the equation 1) which is derived from equations its subsystem made up of equations a) and b):
1) Understanding = Knowledge - (Truth + Lies) where
a) Understanding = Knowledge + Uncertainty, and
b) 0 = Uncertainty + Truth + Lies
Additional information from which the forensic simulator is designed is provided in the attachments.
Hopefully this information may be of value to you in your research.

Patchwork ethnography offers a new way to acknowledge and accommodate how researchers’ lives in their full complexity shape knowledge production. In the process, they argue that anthropological knowledge itself must be transformed. Patchwork ethnography helps us refigure what counts as knowledge and what does not, what counts as research and what does not, and how we can transform realities that have been described to us as “limitations” and “constraints” into openings for new insights.
