People who work in the Red Zone or the first line of care during COVID-19, constitute a group prone to contagion and vulnerable to the manifestation of unpleasant psychological reactions. The objective of this study was to explore the reactions of anxiety, fear and the perception of risk to COVID-19 in student volunteers at the Red Zone at the Central University Marta Abreu de Las Villas. It used a quantitative, cross-sectional and descriptive design through surveys administered to 67 participants. The Coronavirus Anxiety Scale, The Fear of COVID-19 Scale, and the Risk Perception Scale were used. The processing was carried out using SPSS-25 / Windows, from frequency analysis, contingency tables, and Kendall's Tau-b. Low levels of anxiety, moderate levels of fear, and high levels of risk perception were found. The preparation of students in tools related to the perception of risk is essential, on how to face an adverse environment from resilient behaviors, and effective tools in the management of anxiety and stress.
