Resumen
Objetivos: Determinar las creencias y percepciones sobre la probabilidad de contraer el coronavirus según el rango de edad de los trabajadores
Materiales y Métodos: Estudio de corte transversal en 1785 trabajadores. Se utilizó un cuestionario que midió las creencias relacionadas sobre el contagio por COVID 19, que se aplicó vía correo electrónico
Resultados: La susceptibilidad percibida en las personas de contraer el virus en la rutina diaria es mayormente débil (33,5%), en todas las edades. Los encuestados en edades de 18 a 26 años perciben en un 70,5% un riesgo mínimo de contraer el coronavirus al quedarse en casa. Respecto a si trabajaron en casa y la posibilidad de perder su trabajo, las personas mayores de 60 años (27,8%) existe una percepción mínima. La mayoría (60.8%) de los participantes opina que estar en casa y salir solo a lo necesario es una medida que disminuye la probabilidad de contagiarse frente al COVID 19.

Objective: Determine beliefs and perceptions about the probability of contracting the coronavirus according to the age range of workers. Materials and MethodsCross-sectional study in 1785 workers. A questionnaire was used that measured beliefs related to contagion by COVID 19, which was applied via email. Results: The perceived susceptibility of people to contract the virus in the daily routine is mostly weak (33.5%), at all ages. Respondents between the ages of 18 and 26 perceive a 70.5% minimal risk of contracting the coronavirus by staying at home. Regarding whether they worked at home and the possibility of losing their job, there is a minimal perception of people over 60 years of age (27.8%). The majority (60.8%) of the participants believe that being at home and going out only as necessary is a measure that reduces the probability of being infected with COVID. Conclusions: People's perceived susceptibility to contracting the virus in their daily routine is mostly weak (33.5%), at all ages.
