Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced Wednesday that the government has brought home more than 50,000 Americans who have been stranded abroad since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.

Speaking at the daily White House coronavirus task force press briefing, Pompeo said the effort from the State Department to repatriate Americans abroad is “without parallel in our lifetime.”

“We still have several thousand people that we’re working to bring home,” he said. “We chip away at that every day. We’ll keep up as long as we have the resources.” Since the outbreak began, the State Department has ramped up its efforts to bring Americans back to the country - contracting private aircraft and sending military planes to retrieve those unable to return home amid the global coronavirus pandemic.Last week, the State Department chartered a flight to Nigeria to fly 150 passengers into Dulles International Airport in Virginia, outside of Washington, D.C.
