    Material and methods: Randomized cross-sectional observational study, in pharmacies in Pontevedra and Ourense, from 10 to 25 June 2020.

    Subjects: 18 years of age who come on demand for medicines and/or protective material.

    Procedure: the user completed an anonymous questionnaire, depositing it in a daily disinfected tray.

    Results: 839 surveys. 492 (58,6%) women, an average age of 54.6 (DE-17.4) years. 144 (17,2%) they live alone.

    771 (91,9%) COVID-19 is more dangerous than influenza, 233 (27.7%) they don’t know how to be in some risk group. 137 (16,4%) say they feel bad/very bad with isolation.
