The latest events in the lives of university students in Chile have been very stressful quarantines, online classes, and fear of contagion. It is imperative to have a solid instrument to measure the fear of Covid. This research aims to estimate the psychometric properties of the ‘Fear of Covid-19 Scale (FCV-19S)’ in a sample of 562 Chilean university students and to confirm its factorial structure. Confirmatory factorial analyses were performed and model parameters were estimated using the diagonally weighted least squares (DWLS) method. The assessment of FCV-19S had satisfactory values (ω = .94; α = .93). The results showed that the two-correlated factor model best fit the data CFI = .993, TLI = .989, RMSEA = .053, SRMR = .049. These findings suggest that FCV-19S has the proper psychometric properties for its application to Chilean university students.
