Method: The research responds to a non-experimental design and quantitative approach. The questionnaires were applied to the capitals of the provinces of the Amazon region. This study was worked under the non-experimental design and a quantitative approach. Results and conclusion: The results allowed us to know that the citizens of the Amazon present 48.5% as ignorance of the functions of their authorities. So, it was possible to conclude that Amazonian citizens perceive the management of the Regional Government as disapproving, emphasizing that they have little participation in public management measures. Research implications: The Peruvian State oversaw distributing the economic resources to the regions so that they can safeguard their inhabitants. Originality/value: This study was carried out with the intention of knowing the perception of the Amazon citizen about the management of their regional government on this health crisis.
