This article aims to analyze from feminist anthropology some of the tensions raised within a group of Muslim migrant women from Salamanca, Spain, during the state of alarm in response to the Covid-19 virus. It is based on a year and a half of work ethnographic field, and it is proposed that social inequality deepens in the face of the pandemic emergency, placing these women in a situation of greater vulnerability.
