COVID-19 has effects on the mental health of health care workers.Aim:
To explore the presence of symptoms associated with mental health problems and associated risk factors in health workers. Material andMethods:

Sixty five percent reported depression symptoms, 74% anxiety, 65% insomnia and 57% distress. Physicians had lower median scores in all scales than nurses and other health professionals. Professionals attending patients with respiratory infections or with COVID-19 had higher median scores in the scales that their counterparts.Conclusions:
