Repatriation

The closure of the borders initially caused concern with both foreigners inside Suriname and Surinamese people aboard. Suriname is a former colony of the Netherlands and shares Dutch as the official language, therefore there are always a large amount people going back and forth between the countries.

Initially some repatriation flights were allowed including flights to the Netherlands, but the level of infections aboard and the identification of two cases on a flight from Aruba resulted in concern.

On 3 April, a group of Dutch people in Suriname were scheduled to be repatriated,{{Cite news|url=https://www.dbsuriname.com/2020/04/02/schema-repatriatie-verloopt-voorspoedig-%ef%bb%bf/|title=Schedule repatriation on schedule (in Dutch)|access-date=4 April 2020|website=Dagblad Suriname}} but there was an issue with the plane which resulted it in arriving a day late.
