Tens of thousands of people across Venezuela are working in illegal mines tucked away in the nation’s jungles to provide subsistence for themselves and their families. So many have lost their jobs, with an unemployment rate reaching 8 percent this year, that mines are the only option for employment.

After picking up the virus in the mines, workers return to their homes in the cities where the disease is spreading at an alarming rate.
