Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic started in December 2019 in Wuhan, China and the first cases in Romania were registered in February 2020. Those in the front line in the fight against the pandemic, the medical staff, were the most affected from a psychologically and physically point of view. This study examines the perception of medical staff in isolation after coming into contact with confirmed positive patients with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The study identifies psychologically differentiated patterns of reaction and behaviour based on social and professional determinants.

Keywords: perception, anxiety, social distance, SARS-CoV-2.
