Amidst continued calls by Guyanese stranded abroad for the National COVID-19 Task Force (NCTF) to grant permission for them to return home, head of the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) Lt. Col. (ret’d) Egbert Field has said that planning is ongoing to address the requests.
Field, who is a member of the NCTF, on Thursday told Stabroek News that there is a multi-agency approach to the requests and that protocols are being worked out before the Guyanese can be given permission to return home.
Guyana’s airports remain largely closed to incoming commercial passenger flights until June 3rd as part of measures that have been instituted to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus disease.
