US charters plane to repatriate Americans from Malawi
US government is chartering a plane to evacuate its citizens from Malawi amid the global coronavirus outbreak.
A statement from the US embassy in Lilongwe says the repatriation exercise is as the result of the virus pandemic.
“We are in the process of examining options for a repatriation flight to the United States.
“The flight is expected to travel to Malawi the next two weeks,” says the statement in part.
The statement says Americans interested in the repatriation should immediately contact the US embassy consular section through the Lilongwe evacuation request form not later than 7:30am on Tuesday, April 14.
“Vulnerable populations will be priotirised and all others will be confirmed on first come, first serve basis,” says the statement in part.
However, some Malawians have taken up in various social media platforms to question the decision to evacuate the Americans from a low infected country to the coronavirus hotspot in the world.

We are waiting for India and China governments to announce when they are picking up their people. Burundi and Nigeria should follow suite.

I don’t blame the Americans . We had a lady who died here suffering from Covid 19 . She was refused admission into the hospitals.she needed a ventilator and wasn’t given one . In other words she was told to die in her own house.
Malawi should also think of it’s citizens in South Africa please Will not die of corona viruses but hunger and starvation will kill them since the are not working and been locked out for 21 days plus 14 more 🤔🤔😵😵
The pricks are safer here. We only have 5 and 1 death. Usa have 400k infected. Bunch of idiots. Anyway the less people the better so go. Nigeria Pakistan China Burundi when are you also repatriating your people? We need Malawi to be normal again. PLEASE come take them.
