    The first reports of patients with the SARS-CoV-2 virus were detected in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, and it quickly spread to all continents. The objective of this study was to determine the knowledge and attitudes towards the new COVID-19 coronavirus among Dentists in Lima. This research was descriptive and cross-sectional, and a survey was conducted through a Google Form. The instrument, previously validated through expert judgment, consisted of 20 questions with various alternatives, focusing on COVID-19. The sample consisted of 236 dentists. Statistical analysis was carried out using the ANOVA, Chi-square, and Student's T tests.
