Ministers Nísia Trindade (Health), Marina Silva (Environment and climate change) and Sônia Guajajara (Indigenous peoples) visited the state to announce measures to step up actions for the removal of miners and health care for indigenous communities .
One of the announcements was the expansion of an additional 220 National Security Force personnel into Yanomami territory. According to the Ministry of Justice and Public Security, they will help remove illegal miners from the area.
