Virus spreading to Brazil's Indigenous territories at 'frightening speed'

A Brazilian rights group says the coronavirus has hit 38 indigenous groups in the country and is spreading to Indigenous territories "with frightening speed".

A survey by the Brazilian Indigenous Peoples' Association (APIB) finds 446 cases of the new coronavirus and 92 deaths among the affected groups, mainly in the Brazilian Amazon.

The grim news came a day after the Indigenous community of Parque das Tribos, outside the northern city of Manaus, held a funeral for its chief, Messias Kokama, who died of COVID-19.
