The World Health Organisation says it is deeply concerned about the impact of coronavirus on indigenous people in America, the current epicentre of COVID-19 pandemic.

“WHO is also working with the Coordinator of Indigenous Organisations of the Amazon River Basin to step up the fight against COVID-19.” He explained that indigenous people often have high burden of poverty, unemployment, malnutrition and both communicable and non-communicable diseases, making them more vulnerable to COVID-19 and its severe outcomes.

He stressed that contact tracing was essential for every country in every situation. It could prevent individual cases from becoming clusters, and clusters turning into community transmission.
