The sample was composed of 438 participants from Peru. The online survey method using the LimeSurvey platform was used. The results showed significant differences between the groups with and without anxiety, with respect to gender, perceived threats, degree of confidence in the information and self-confidence in COVID-19. Anxiety was significantly correlated with perceived threats. No significant differences were found with respect to age, educational level, economic income, religion, preventive behaviors, proven and mythologized perceptions, and probability of contagion. Finally, the importance of preventive behaviours and access to reliable and appropriate information to reduce psychological distress is discussed. El objetivo del presente estudio fue describir las diferencias entre personas que informaron presentar ansiedad ante el COVID-19 y aquellas que no. Asimismo, analizamos cómo los comportamientos preventivos y las percepciones se vinculan con la ansiedad frente al COVID-19. La muestra comprendió a 438 participantes de Perú. Se utilizó el método de encuesta en línea empleando la plataforma LimeSurvey. Los resultados indicaron diferencias significativas entre los grupos con y sin ansiedad, respecto al sexo, las amenazas percibidas, el grado de confianza en la información y la autoconfianza ante el COVID-19. La ansiedad correlacionó significativamente con las amenazas percibidas. No se encontraron diferencias significativas respecto a edad, grado de instrucción, ingreso económico, religión, comportamientos preventivos, percepciones comprobadas, mitificadas y probabilidad de contagio. Considerando estos hallazgos, se discute la importancia de los comportamientos preventivos, y el acceso a la información oportuna y confiable para reducir el malestar psicológico.
