The global situation experienced due to the advance of the covid-19 pandemic and the requirements of social isolation has affected multiple sectors, especially the education sector. In particular, teachers, support workers and university students have taken on a great challenge by recognizing that conditions have changed but learning is not delayed. Therefore, they have seen the need to implement virtual education strategies in a short period of time. For the universities in which face-to-face was the daily learning model, which do not have the necessary infrastructure for the new virtual modality, it has been a threat to the environment as they were forced, under these conditions, to migrate from face-to-face education to non-attendance. face-to-face, emergent way. That is why this study emphasizes the adverse effects of the social emergency caused by COVID-19 in the university teaching work environment, the appearance of stress and the need for institutions to adopt measures to improve their situation in terms of technology organization, methods and techniques and improve their digital skills in line with emerging global trends and realities, to avoid negative consequences on the mental health of their teachers and students.
