Objetivo: evaluar el conocimiento de la población general acerca de la pandemia de COVID-19, incluyendo datos sobre la enfermedad y las medidas preventivas para reducir la propagación del virus. Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio transversal en una muestra de la población mexicana durante el periodo del 20 al 27 de marzo del 2020 por medio de una encuesta electrónica. Se evaluó el conocimiento general sobre COVID-19 y el apego a las recomendaciones de salud pública Resultados: 2,577 participantes completaron la encuesta. Los resultados muestran un adecuado conocimiento sobre la enfermedad en la población general (76.2% de la muestra), el cual está levemente correlacionado con la edad (r=0.15, p<0.001), estado socioeconómico (r=0.06, p<0.003) y grado académico (r=0.12, p<0.001). Conclusiones: en general, la población conoce la información acerca del COVID-19 y conoce las recomendaciones de salud pública, pero una gran proporción de la gente no sigue estrictamente estas recomendaciones.
