    Coronavirus Economic Lockdown Forces Venezuelans to Return Home

    The pandemic has put Venezuelans in a critical situation: no income, no savings, unable to pay rent, forced to return to their country

    Spanish – The global crisis triggered by the novel coronavirus has not
    only paralyzed economies but has also severely hit the pockets of
    workers, especially migrants who are now stranded.

    Thousands of Venezuelans have been forced to return to their country
    because the implementation of quarantines in different nations has left
    them without their daily income. Many of them rely on their daily wages
    to survive.

    Companies that are paralyzed are beginning to lay off hundreds of
    workers; others have decided not to pay salaries. Meanwhile, those
    working in the informal sector have found themselves unemployed and
    unable to earn an income. https://panampost.com/sabrina-martin/2020/04/08/coronavirus-venezuelans-home/
