The global pandemic of the COVID-19 and its consequences in social, political and economic life have intensified some of the existing inequalities and vulnerabilities, while at the same time have brought about new ways of daily life, marked by confinement. Our research aims to analyze, from the perspective of medical anthropology, the emotional and relational effects of the new situation, and its evolution over the coming months. To this end, we have taken as our starting point the growing centrality of social networks and new communication technologies in a context of social and/or physical distance. We have based on these technologies and their methodological potentialities to collect data on the effects of confinement and the health crisis. To this end, we are collecting qualitative and quantitative data through an online questionnaire that combines open questions with multiple-choice questions. Some preliminary results are presented in this text.
