The objective of this study was to analyze psychosomatic symptoms in front-line health personnel of district 18-D04 during the current COVID-19 pandemic. The study was descriptive and cross-sectional. The impact of the experience associated (contagion, infected family members, infected friends, deceased family members and friends) to COVID-19 on the presence of somatization among the participants. It was found with significant differences (p< .05) in which the levels of somatization are higher among participants who were infected with Covid-19, as well as those who had family members infected and friends deceased by Covid-19 than in those who have not been infected or did not have family members infected or friends deceased. These elements point to the inference that Covid-19, in circumstances of lived or close personal experience in friends and family members, had a greater impact on the development of somatization.
