Background:
active screening against COVID-19 by medical students has been one of the strategies of the Cuban Ministry of Public Health to face the pandemic.
Objective:
to analyze the perception that medical students have about community screening activities for the detection of COVID 19.
Methods:

Theoretical methods were used for the collection of information and the foundation of the research, and empirical methods: a questionnaire on the student's perception on active screening.
Results:
all the students considered active research as necessary and essential, the majority felt motivated by the work carried out, as a contribution to their professional development and part of their curricular strategy; however, some of them considered this work as a brake on the development of the distance teaching-learning process. The feeling of fear about being infected was the most reported difficulty.
Conclusions:
the students perceived the advantages of carrying out the research in pursuit of their future professional development, but they considered that it can hinder the development of the distance learning teaching-learning process.
