Abstract: 

On April 6, 2020, Guatemala’s foreign ministry said that all flights from the United States returning deported Guatemalan migrants are suspended this week due to the coronavirus pandemic. The deportation flights resumed during the week of April 20. According to Joaquin Samayoa, a foreign ministry spokesman, the suspension is only in effect this week, which is when Christians celebrate Holy Week.[1]
