Canadian-based WestJet Airlines yesterday afternoon brought home the first set of Guyanese who were stuck in Canada subsequent to the closure of borders due to the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
Guyanese nationals have been stuck abroad since March 17, following the closure of the country’s airports, which was a part of a menu of measures implemented to combat the lethal COVID-19 virus.
A total of 141 Guyanese returned yesterday just around 3pm following pleas with government to grant permission for their return home.
