Abstract: IN 2020 population has been confronted with an unthinkable reality, because of an invisible hazard. It is, therefore, impossible to imagine it, picture it, except in its potentially fatal consequences. The resulting anxiety is accentuated by the absence of preventive and curative treatment, while the asymptomatic forms of the disease are many and complicate the control of virus spread. This pathogen is literally breaking into our lives and can be the cause of profound destabilisation and even psychological distress. "Protectors" are not immune to these traumatic factors, which may even be aggravated by their conception of their profession and its characteristics.
