Introduction: Since the start of COVID-19 pandemic healthcare workers (HCWs) had to face an elevated workload in Isolation hospitals. Aim: The study addresses work-related stress and burnout experienced by HCWs in the COVID-19 Isolation hospitals of Cairo University and its impact on the cognitive domain of their executive functioning. Subjects and methods: Tools used to assess the degree of work-related stress and burnout were Dr.Farag{u2019}s questionnaire on work-related stress and Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey. The outcome of such stress on cognition was measured by Wisconsin Card Sorting Test to examine the executive functioning of HCWs during hospital work and two weeks after home isolation. Results: A high degree of work stress experienced by HCWs was evident in their high score in Dr.Farag{u2019}s questionnaire with a mean±SD of (132.08 ±12.573). Also, results have shown a high degree of burnout using the Maslach Burnout Inventory for Human Health Services with a mean±SD of (28.48 ±6.622) for the module of Emotional Exhaustion, (31.85 ±5.439) for Personal Achievement, and (17.52±6.707) for Depersonalization. The study also revealed that healthcare workers experience an impairment of executive functioning in the form of increased total errors of Wisconsin card sorting test during hospital shifts compared to two weeks after.There is a positive significant correlation between Dr.Farag{u2019}s Questionnaire and Maslach burnout inventory and the total errors of Wisconsin card sorting test results during the stay in the hospital (p value=<0.001), as well as two weeks after stay (p value=<0.001).This cognitive decline manifested in increased errors during clinical work affecting patient{u2019}s safety
