The situation of COVID-19 infection among Brazilian indigenous people is serious. What is the government doing?

According to data from the Brazilian Ministry of Health, the new coronavirus in Brazil has spread to many primitive tribes. These primitive tribes have backward medical conditions and do not know how to protect themselves, which leads to the rapid spread of the new coronavirus. According to incomplete statistics, 155 indigenous tribes in Brazil have confirmed cases of COVID-19, and more than 27,000 indigenous people have been infected with COVID-19, resulting in more than 700 deaths. With so many cases of infection, Brazil's indigenous leaders believe that this is due to the government's lax control and irresponsibility. Government mistakes have posed a great threat to the lives of indigenous peoples. So what measures has the Brazilian government taken to prevent the epidemic among indigenous tribes during this epidemic? The following is my opinion:

1. Passive fight against the epidemic

In the early days when the number of COVID-19 infections among Brazilian indigenous people increased, the Brazilian government did not take urgent epidemic prevention measures to prevent the spread of the epidemic. , but has been struggling with the authenticity of the specific data on infections among indigenous people in Brazil. The government believes that only with sufficient data support can the next step of epidemic prevention work be carried out, so the Brazilian government has been investigating the specific number of infected indigenous people and the authenticity of the data obtained. This approach prevented the new coronavirus from being controlled in time, and now it is in an uncontrollable situation.

2. Expulsion of miners

Although the government’s anti-epidemic measures have not kept up, according to the Brazilian Ministry of Justice and the responses of indigenous peoples, the reason why the new coronavirus spreads among indigenous tribes in Brazil is Because some gold miners enter Aboriginal lands without any control in search of gold. Based on this, the Brazilian government evicted miners from the lands where indigenous peoples lived, using this method to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus in the region.

3. Increase COVID-19 testing indicators and medical resources

Aboriginal tribes are mostly located in remote areas and lack medical resources. Many cases of COVID-19 infection and suspected cases cannot be treated in time. , which also accelerates the spread of the new coronavirus. After realizing this, the Brazilian government increased its medical investment in indigenous tribes in the hope of controlling the rapid spread of the epidemic.

The above is my opinion on the serious situation of indigenous people in Brazil being infected with the new coronavirus and the specific measures implemented by the government. What do you think? Welcome to leave a message and communicate.
