On January, the World Health Organization declared that COVID19 was a public health emergency with a currently known overall mortality rate which could be reach 3.4%. The study is retrospective and prospective, comparing two months, 1 month before confinement and 1 month during confinement. The research was conducted within the maxillofacial surgery department of Ibn TOFAIL Hospital at Mohamed VI University Hospital in Marrakech. 1 month before the lockdown, we registered 284 assault patients, who were reported to the total admitted of 1360. 1 month since the establishment of the state of emergency by the Moroccan government, encouraging confinement linked to the Covid 19 infection, we have reported 68 cases of aggression on a global workforce of 360 patients. Since the declaration of confinement in the world as a mode of prevention of COVID-19 infection in the great majority of countries, it has been observed a huge decrease in the number of road accidents, assaults and violence among which maxillofacial aggressions.
