In a bid to stay away from the Coronavirus, tribals in Aarey Milk Colony have restricted entry to outsiders into their hamlets. Small trails leading to these places have been blocked for vehicles using dead tree branches and stones.

There are 27 tribal hamlets inside Aarey and some in Sanjay Gandhi National Park. While entry to the tribal hamlets in SGNP is restricted, many people still visit Aarey Milk Colony on a regular basis. Over 5,000 families of the Warli and Goma tribes reside here.
