The health minister told a congressional hearing in Guatemala City that at least half of the country's now almost 200 COVID-19 cases could be traced back to migrants returned from the U.S, which he referred to as"the Wuhan of the Americas." According to the Associated Press, the health minister's remarks contradict statements made earlier by President Alejandro Giammattei, who has previously identified only four confirmed cases of returned migrants testing positive for COVID-19. Giammattei made no mention of the health minister's bombshell statement in his daily report to the nation on Tuesday night.
As the COVID-19 crisis spread to Central America in the last month, the governments of Guatemala and other Central American countries had requested temporary suspension of the deportation flights. On Tuesday, Guatemala's Foreign Minister Pedro Brolo confirmed flights of returned migrants would continue, saying,"We have begun ... negotiations with the Embassy and government of the United States to improve conditions of those being returned from the United States ...
Why would this surprise anyone?!?! If one migrant had it, and was then force to small quarters... They would all end up getting the virus, although some may be asymptomatic.
Yet the president of Guatemala said only four migrants tested positive, so which is it?

Shameful.
That is a BS lie.
hello, dumbass, they are your citizens..
The US's mishandling of the situation caused an outbreak to occur in the concentration camps, then they sent the outbreak abroad. It's like how the Nazi's purposely kept their prisoners in unsanitary conditions, causing an outbreak of diseases like Typhus.
