Material and Methods: An electronic survey was conducted among students of nursing, midwifery, and emergency medicine during the COVID-19 pandemic, from 8 April 2021 to 6 June 2021 in the Pomeranian Voivodeship. Results: A total of 37 men and 238 women participated in the study. A moderate level of knowledge was found in 88% and high in 11% of students Midwifery students had a higher level than nursing students (<i>p</i> = 0.002) and students of emergency medicine (<i>p</i> = 0.003). The female gender is much more afraid of SARS-CoV-2 virus infection (<i>p</i> = 0.021). The most common preventive measure was to avoid people who coughed or had a cold (93%). Only 84% of students were vaccinated. Students who had a high level of knowledge more often avoided people who coughed or had a cold (<i>p</i> = 0.03) and gave up on meeting with friends (<i>p</i> = 0.02).
