Since the Covid-19 pandemic was declared on March 11, 2020 by the World Health Organization, due to its rapid spread in more than 100 countries, it caused a crisis in health systems, which is why it was declared at the national level. the state of emergency; Due to the restrictions and measures implemented such as social isolation, traffic restrictions, more rigorous biosafety protocols in mining operations, and dismissal of workers, it is estimated that approximately 250 mining companies were paralyzed in about 33 countries, including Peru. In this context, the national government on May 2, 2020, through the issuance of Supreme Decree No. 080-2020-PCM, adopted the measure to prevent the economy from being affected, excepting the mining sector from prohibited activities. Thus, in July 2020, it was officially reported that workers had tested positive for COVID-19 in the mining sector, evidencing inadequate levels of health risk perception, since biosafety protocols were not well implemented or turned out to be insufficient. Objective: Determine the perception of health risk against COVID-19 in the workers of the Mota Engil Antamina 2021 company. Material and Method: This research has a quantitative approach, descriptive type, its design is cross-sectional observational, it will be carried out at the Antamina mining company. The sample will be 100 workers. A previously validated questionnaire on health risk perception will be applied.

Risk of neurological alterations due to chronic mercury poisoning in mining workers.
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-02-22) Medina Sanchez, Lady; Rivera Lozada de Bonilla, Oriana
Objective: To analyze and systematize the evidence on the risk of neurological disorders due to chronic mercury poisoning in miners. Materials and methods: The systematic review of the 10 scientific articles was found in the following databases: Epystemonikos, Pubmed, Medline, EBSCO. They allowed us to find 10 scientific evidences. The selected articles were subjected to a critical reading. The quality of the evidence and strength of the recommendations were evaluated with the GRADE System to identify the degree of evidence. Results: Of the 10 articles systematically reviewed, 40% (n=4/10) are systematic reviews, 50% (n=5/10) are analytical cross-sectional studies and 10% (n=1/10) is a descriptive cross-sectional study. According to the results obtained from the systematic review carried out in the present study, they come from the countries of the United States (40%), followed by Sweden (10%), Brazil (10%), Indonesia (10%), Ghana (10%), Chile (10%) and Japan (10%). Considering the research designs, systematic reviews, cross-sectional studies were included, considering that 100% (n = 10/10) chronic mercury poisoning causes the risk of neurological disorders in miners. Conclusions: In 100% of the reviewed articles it was shown that chronic mercury poisoning causes the risk of neurological disorders in miners.
