Later, it was noticed that both, Indigenous and doctor, were responsible for COVID-19's transmission to 43 other Indigenous individuals (30 in Alto Rio Solimões and 13 in Parintis), causing possibly other confirmed deaths. In Brazil, a total of 630,708 cases with 34,625 deaths were described, which occurred in all Brazilian states and Federal District. Presently, respiratory diseases cause approximately one-third of Indigenous deaths in Brazil, which can be a complicating factor during the COVID-19 pandemic. In Brazil, the Indigenous community fears the COVID-19 pandemic [8] , and although containment measures have been taken, it was not possible to prevent the contagion of the Indigenous population. In conclusion, our data reveal the importance of social isolation, especially for Indigenous population that were described as vulnerable and at-risk for COVID-19, highlighted by the identification of community infection. ./cache/cord-329469-vbk42y1l.txt ./txt/cord-329469-vbk42y1l.txt
