This news article chronicles the effort to bring home Canadians abroad in the face of the pandemic and tells the stories of a few individuals who returned home. Prime Minister Just Trudeau, speaking on behalf of the government, suggested any Canadians abroad who wished to come home at the beginning of the pandemic should attempt to do so by March 23 and the government organized flights to get those in countries no longer serviced by regular commercial flights or negotiated with governments under lock down to allow Canadians out.
