In Peru, a worrying view is shown in health personnel, due to constant exposure to infection and saturation of the health system, even more so, in areas with a high mortality and risk rate; it is a sector of the population that generates higher expectations for health care, increasing its level of responsibility and the individual and collective dispersion of capacities in the face of adversity, however being vulnerable from the psychological point of view. We sought to determine the state of mental health, according to sex, marital status, specialty and areas of the hospital in health personnel in the face of COVID - 19. Descriptive study, n = 90 participants. We have used the Goldberg General Health Questionnaire 28. Obtaining that 34% of those evaluated there were presented indicators of mental health problems, where anxiety prevailed, 15.6%, psychosomatic problems, 9% and depression 3.3%. In addition, anxiety was evidenced in women, 13%; single, 7%; technical nursing staff, 4% and hospitalization workers, 6%. Indeed, mental health in health personnel in the face of COVID-19 was reflected in indicators of anxiety, depression and social dysfunction, generating possible emotional effects in the domains of their life.
