“The Andaman authorities must act urgently to prevent the virus reaching more Great Andamanese and to prevent infection in the other tribes,” said Sophie Grig, a senior researcher with Survival.“The waters around North Sentinel must be properly policed and no outsiders should enter the territories of any of the Andaman tribes without their consent,” she said. “We’ve certainly seen in the US, in Brazil, in Peru, indigenous communities [being] disproportionately hit. In Brazil where there are more than a hundred uncontacted tribes still living, fear of the disease is getting into those communities.”
