The Peruvian state is a dependent capitalist state. Its characteristics are principally the product of the country's role in the capitalist world system. The measures that have been taken in the fight against COVID-19 have been a mix of repression and the implementation of weak economic and social relief programs. The expansion of the coronavirus has demonstrated that society's socially and economically segmented character corresponds with a segmented state presence. The policies implemented to reduce the economic and social effects of COVID-19 show that the pre-COVID neoliberal model was not adjusted to confront the economic, social, and health crisis. International and national economic and political restrictions impede a post-COVID state transformation in Peru. The leftist-oriented Castillo government lacked the political and social bases to radically reform the state. El estado peruano es un estado capitalista dependiente y sus características son primordialmente consecuencia del papel que juega el país en el sistema mundial capitalista. Las medidas que se han tomado en la lucha contra la COVID-19 son una mezcla de acciones represivas y la implementación de frágiles programas de ayuda económica y social. La expansión del coronavirus da muestra del carácter social y económicamente segmentado de la sociedad que corresponde con una presencia estatal segmentada. Las políticas implementadas para reducir los efectos económicos y sociales de la COVID-19 muestran que el modelo neoliberal pre-COVID no se ajustó para enfrentar la crisis económica, social y sanitaria. Las restricciones económicas y políticas tanto internacionales como nacionales impiden una transformación estatal post-COVID en el Perú. El gobierno izquierdista de Castillo careció de las bases políticas y sociales para reformar radicalmente el estado
