In Brazil, there are concerns about how the coronavirus pandemic has spread to the indigenous population there.

Reports say 10 indigenous Yanomami children have died from Covid-19 in the Amazon region. Generally there have been relatively few Covid deaths among children but experts in Brazil believe the virus is having a much more aggressive impact on indigenous children.
