Objective: to determine the clinical-epidemiological characteristics associated with COVID-19 in health personnel. Methodology: Quantitative, non-experimental, correlational study in health personnel of a Military Hospital in the city of Lima, using the database of research files for surveillance of COVID-19. Statistical analysis was obtained using SPSS 23.0v and Stata 17.0v.

Work occupation, contact with people with symptoms of acute respiratory infection or contact with a confirmed or probable case in the 14 days before the onset of symptoms, hospitalization, isolation, cough, sore throat, and other comorbidities were correlated with infection when presenting (p<0.05).

Malaise (30%), sore throat (24.3%), cough (22.3%) were the most frequent symptoms. The characteristic that presented a significant association is the measure of isolation.
