In recent months, COVID-19 has represented an important public health problem in Colombia, for that reason, state of emergency and national quarantine was declared. Despite the multiple strategies implemented to accomplish preventive isolation in the population, acts of public disobedience have been reported, some of these motivated by social conditions that have existed in the country for years and were exposed by the current situation. In the present work some of these social problems will be identified and how they have hampered population management during the crisis
