In Peru's dense Amazon rainforest, some indigenous communities say they first learned of the COVID-19 pandemic in October when health workers arrived by boat at their isolated villages with vaccines
"We didn't know about COVID-19. This is the first we are hearing about it," Quisto said through a translator from the village of Mangual, in Peru's vast but sparsely populated Loreto region in the country's north.
"Brigades haven't come here in many years. These communities are really forgotten," said Gilberto Inuma, president of Fepiurcha, an organization advocating for Urarina rights. In the village with no doctors, ailments include headaches, diarrhea, malaria and conjunctivitis, Quisto said. "We don't know how to take care of our patients. That's our worry."
