Abstract

The population, which lacks knowledge about COVID-19, is at higher risk of getting sick. There are few studies about the knowledge and attitudes that people have during epidemics in South America. This study aims to analyze the knowledge and use of digital technologies of Peruvian students about COVID 19. A 75-item survey was conducted among Peruvian students (N=39), whose ages range from 16 to 29 years. As a result, students have been informed about the evolution of the coronavirus via news, social networks, and search engines. It is relevant to know the use of digital technologies made by students in times of coronavirus since they spread knowledge about the virus worldwide. Information management is a crucial factor in fighting the pandemic.
