This was a descriptive exploratory cross-sectional study carried out in a public municipal and state education network, in a Brazilian capital, from 06/02/2020 to 07/02/2020. 172 directors participated in the survey, who answered an electronic form via Google Form, sent by email. The data were treated using simple descriptive statistics by the program IBM SPSS Statistics 20.0 for Windows 10. In the perception of the directors of the municipal and state education network, COVID-19 "influenced a lot" in the socio-emotional-affective aspects of students, teachers, coordinators and school community. It is therefore necessary to work in a network with contributions linked to new technologies and emotional health in education.
