Coronavirus Fear Now Reaches Deep Into Amazon, Too.

Located in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, a week’s trip upriver by boat, Carauari is not a place that’s easy to reach. But the spreading global panic over the coronavirus pandemic has arrived.

A colorful collection of stilt houses scattered along the massive, brown meanders of the Jurua River in western Brazil, Carauari is technically a “municipality.” However, its 29,000 residents are spread out over 26,000 square kilometers (10,000 square miles), mostly on the western bank of the river, a tributary of the Amazon. It is one of the most remote towns on Earth, with no roads connecting it to the outside world.
