The pandemic derived from coronavirus disease 2019 is characterized by a high spread in the population and the non-perception of risk is a threat faced in the management of this pandemic. A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out in 320 pregnant women who attended the ultrasound consultation at the Carlos J. Finlay Polyclinic in Santiago de Cuba with the aim of making a diagnosis of the perception that pregnant women have about COVID 19 in the face of the new normality. Qualitative variables were used to evaluate the perception of risk on COVID 19. To obtain the information, a survey was applied. Despite the fact that 93.1% of those surveyed consider COVID 19 to be a serious illness, a considerable percentage would greet people with kisses and hugs, would hesitate to enter if they were the contact of a suspected and confirmed patient, would not consider necessary the traveler control actions, they would hold family parties, they would not worry about any symptoms if they have not had contact with suspected and confirmed cases, they consider that COVID does not have consequences for everyone, only for vulnerable patients and the most alarming thing is that 71, 5% are not afraid of getting infected because pregnant women are not vulnerable. The real perception of health risk is still minimal, and pregnant women are not aware that they constitute a vulnerable group for this disease.

Palabras clave : Risk perception; COVID19; New normality.
