I am a Brazilian doing college in the US. When the Convid-19 got to brazil and the US, around mid-march I decided to go back to Brazil, my college made the decision to finish the semester online and I and my family thought was better for me to quarantine there than in the US. During this time the US decided to close the borders for non-USA citizens coming from Brazil, so when the time came for me to come back I had to stay 15 days in Portugal in order to be MAYBE be able to enter in the US with my student visa.
