Introduction: to know the implications of the COVID -19 pandemic in the humanization of care in two public maternity hospitals in Southern Brazil from the perspective of the multidisciplinary health team. Methods: qualitative study conducted with 16 health professionals who worked in public maternity hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data collection was performed from April to June 2021 through a semi-structured interview. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and analyzed thematically. Results: health professionals were concerned about adapting to the context of the pandemic without losing focus on the humanization of care. Changes were needed in maternity hospitals, which compromised the implementation of good practices, such as restricting the presence of a companion and separation of mother and baby in the case of patients with COVID-19. Conclusion: the restrictions imposed by the pandemic were necessary in that context, as there were many doubts about how to intervene in childbirth and postpartum period care. However, they affected several achievements in relation to the humanization of care, limiting individual rights in favor of collective interests.
