More than 24,000 Americans remain stuck overseas and need help to get home, but assistance may be increasingly hard to come by, authorities said.
“We are finding people who we get in touch within the countries around the world who say, 'Well, we'll see. We'll see. Doesn't look so bad now, we'll get back in touch with you in a few weeks,' ” Brownlee said Wednesday.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to grow, many countries are implementing travel restrictions, mandatory quarantines and border closures with little or no advance notice. “We're working very closely with the central government in Peru, health authorities at both the provincial and the municipal level to seek to move those people out,” said Brownlee. “I can't go into specific cases for privacy reasons, but we've had some success and we're looking forward to the future.”
“Every repatriation flight is is being negotiated by the country team on the ground on a case by case, flight by flight basis, and in a great number of the countries involved,” said Dr. William Walters, managing director for operational medicine and the State Department’s bureau of medical services, who is also involved in the efforts."
