We blocked the road three kilometers away from the village and formed security groups. Now each of them has their own guarding turns to restrain access to our community\u201d, tells <\/span><b>Genrry Lopez Ruiz<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, head of San Roque community\u2019s social aid commission, in a phone interview at the end of April.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The rural Amazon area is one of the most vulnerable regions in Peru in front of Covid-19. Access to sanitation, potable water or health care <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dge.gob.pe\/portal\/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=255&amp;Itemid=105\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">is among the lowest in the country<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Moreover, deforestation and extractive activities, such as oil drilling and mining, are exposing the Amazonian populations <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/puntoedu.pucp.edu.pe\/noticias\/la-selva-peruana-y-su-alta-vulnerabilidad-ante-la-covid-19\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to elevated levels of environmental contamination<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before the Covid-19 outbreak, the tropical regions across Latin America were struggling with another severe health threat: dengue. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/detail\/21-11-2019-who-region-of-the-americas-records-highest-number-of-dengue-cases-in-history-cases-spike-in-other-regions\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">in 2019 the continent saw the highest record in dengue cases in history<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> with over 3 million infected and over 1,500 deaths.\u00a0 In the beginning of February 2020, the Ministry of Health of Peru <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gob.pe\/institucion\/minsa\/noticias\/81315-minsa-declarara-en-emergencia-sanitaria-a-regiones-loreto-madre-de-dios-y-san-martin-para-combatir-brote-de-dengue\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">declared a state of emergency<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> due to an extending dengue epidemic in the Amazonian departments of Loreto, Madre de Dios and San Mart\u00edn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The community of San Roque is located in the department of San Mart\u00edn, one of those regions with the highest number of dengue cases in Peru. Recent experience with the dengue has increased worries among the community members over their safety.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIn February, we had two persons infected with dengue. They were people outside of the community who had come for some temporal forestry work. Now we are very strict with whom we let in. Anyone who enters the community is sprayed throughout with disinfectants. It is harsh, but we do it to protect our community\u201d, Lopez Ruiz tells.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">San Roque has a small health care center that is shared by its 1,300 inhabitants. According to Lopez Ruiz, until now the health care has been working properly, as none of the community members has yet been infected by the Covid-19.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cDuring the pandemic, we have received some help from the government but there could be more. We are used to managing things on our own, as we say, the community never sleeps. We have worked hard to develop our health care and sanitation long before the coronavirus. Now our only worry is that we are running out of plastic gloves, masks and Covid-19 tests. There is not much left and without proper equipment there is a risk that the virus will spread\u201d, Lopez Ruiz tells.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In San Roque, most of the people receive their livelihoods from small-scale agriculture. During the pandemic, the families have sustained themselves mostly with self-cultivated products such as cacao, peanuts, plantains and corn. There is also a strong tradition of sharing foods and other items among the community members.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThere hasn\u2019t been any panic in San Roque during the coronavirus. We have always been well organized and we have our fields that feed us. Now in the cities people are losing their minds for the fear of running out of food. Before the coronavirus outbreak, the rural people were forgotten in our country. Nobody cared about us. Now suddenly the Peruvian small-farmers have become really wanted. I hope this change in mentality will last even when the virus will be tackled\u201d, Lopez Ruiz ponders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>\u00a0<\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Anna Heikkinen is a doctoral researcher in Development Studies at the University of Helsinki.
