  ABSTRACT: Due to the increased anxiety levels due to COVID-19, brief screening instruments are required to detect it. Recently, Lee has developed an instrument with these characteristics, the Coronavirus Anxiety scale (CAS), showing adequate psychometric properties. Therefore, this work aimed to adapt and study the main psychometric characteristics of CAS in the Mexican population. The CAS Scale was administered simultaneously as the BAI, Goldberg Anxiety and Depression Brief Screening Scales, and the MBI to 262 people exposed to COVID-19 (medical staff, nurses, and patients). A unifactorial structure and high reliability (α = .848) were corroborated; the relationship with the other scales was consistent with the theory. It can be concluded that the CAS is adequate to evaluate the presence of anxiety symptoms due to COVID-19 in the population of Michoacan (Mexico).
