Abstract:	With the declaration of the pandemic in March 2020 in Colombia, many daily activities were affected, among which are mentioned the development of work, educational, recreational and other activities. This research takes place in a Colombian border city characterized by the predominance of informal employment, a condition that was negatively impacted both by Covid-19 and by the measures taken by the State to mitigate the rates of infection in the population. A group of 359 informal workers was formed who shared their perceptions about what their lives were like before the arrival of the pandemic, what their experiences have been like during the pandemic and what their expectations for the future are. It can be concluded that this population group has been strongly affected in all aspects of their lives mainly due to their economic fragility and that, with the pandemic, the existing gaps between the different social classes have been exacerbated.
