The Complete Epidemiological Bulletin that we present brings updated data until July 9, 2020. It contains confirmed cases of Covid-19 among indigenous people in Maranhão, still based on the epidemiological bulletins of the Municipal Health Departments of 11 municipalities in the state that focus on indigenous lands. In the previous bulletin, of June 29, 2020, there were only 9 municipalities. The table shows the new locations (villages and / or areas) with confirmed cases.

We emphasize the addition of data from the SEMUS bulletins in the municipalities of Maranhãozinho and Centro do Guilherme. The two municipalities focus on the Alto Turiaçu TI where the Awá Guajá, Ka'apor and Tembé peoples are located. However, we have no information on the health status of Tembé. About the Awá, the complaint of a family that was contaminated by Covid-19 at CASAI in São Luís was published. At first, we know that this family would come from TI Caru, however we do not have precise information about this situation, since these data they do not appear in the SEMUS bulletins of the municipalities that affect this TI, Bom Jardim and São João do Caru. The municipality of Bom Jardim notifies confirmed cases of Covid-19 among indigenous people, but does not do so specifically by people and / or IT. And the municipality of São João do Caru does not include indigenous cases in its bulletins. In addition, SESAI / DSEI-MA continues without specifying the cases confirmed by people, TI or village, making it difficult to access and access this data.

We were unable to access bulletins prior to that date. At that time, the number registered was already 52 confirmed cases, in the village Aximborenda, Ka'apor people. In the bulletin of Centro do Guilherme we identified that SEMUS has notified cases of indigenous people in its bulletins since June 15, 2020. At that time, the number registered was already 69 cases, a number that remains unchanged 1 month later. Therefore, TI Alto Turiaçu accounts for a total of 121 confirmed cases of Covid-19.

Thus, the total number of confirmed cases at TI Arariboia reached 221 records.
