Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic caused important changes in the population's routine. These changes include social distance and care with hygiene and health. The social distance needed to reduce the contagion caused by the coronavirus has affected the routine of the university students in face-to-face institutions. The objective of this research was to verify among the students of the Biological Sciences course at Unespar, campus of Paranavaí, what is the impact of the changes caused by the pandemic in their routines and to verify if these students consider important and practice the rules determined by the health authorities. The research was of the quantitative/qualitative type with the application of an online questionnaire. The results showed that academics fulfill the determinations of social distance and they consider that the young population, besides contaminating other individuals, can also develop the severe form of the disease. Participants in this research comply with sanitary measures to contain the contamination by Sars-Cov-2.
