The research carried out from June 2020 to July 2021 was qualitative, for which 34 semi-structured interviews were conducted with people who were working in agricultural fields during the first months of the pandemic. Access to local formal health systems was inefficient, in addition to an evident resistance to using them, so traditional medicine practices were implemented. The precarious conditions of the houses, the overcrowding and the difficulties of access to public services, such as piped water, hampered the prevention practices that were implemented. The conditions of social vulnerability contributed so that in these agricultural communities they continued working to survive, while the precarious living conditions made daily care focused on social distancing impossible. El objetivo es analizar las condicionantes sociales y de cuidado ante el COVID-19 en zonas agrícolas de Baja California y Sonora, México. La investigación, realizada de junio de 2020 a julio de 2021, fue de corte cualitativo por medio de 34 entrevistas semiestructuradas a personas que laboraron en campos agrícolas durante los primeros meses de la pandemia. El acceso a los sistemas locales de salud formal fue insuficiente en algunos momentos, pero también hubo resistencia a utilizarlos, y prefirieron poner en práctica saberes de medicina tradicional. Las precarias condiciones de las viviendas, el hacinamiento y las dificultades de acceso a los servicios públicos, como agua entubada, obstaculizaron las prácticas de prevención que se implementaron. Las condiciones de vulnerabilidad social contribuyeron para que en estas comunidades agrícolas se siguiera trabajando para sobrevivir, mientras que las precarias condiciones de vida imposibilitaron el cuidado cotidiano centrado en el distanciamiento social.
