The spread of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19 continues, which leads to increased stress on medical workers. In this connection, in the conditions of the pandemic, it became necessary to involve medical students in working with COVID-19. It is possible that when caring for patients, they may have manifestations of a stigmatizing attitude towards patients due to fear of infection, unpredictability of behavior or mortality of patients. This can be an obstacle to communication and the provision of necessary assistance. A study was conducted among 48 3rd-year students of KrasSMU majoring in medicine and pediatrics working in the red zone with COVID-19, the purpose of which was to identify the main trends in the attitude of students to work in the red zone. The results of the study showed that the motivating factors for students to work in the red zone were the financial component, the desire to help patients and the interest to look at the situation from the inside. Half of the surveyed students did not experience fear and communicated well with patients, while some manifestations of stigmatizing attitude towards patients were observed in 60.1% of students. For most of the students, working in the red zone did not affect their studies, and working in the red zone allowed them to develop clinical thinking and gain some practical skills.
