Migrant caravan sets out for the US amid COVID-19 concerns

Al Jazeera  

Thousands of Hondurans begin their journey to the US as Honduras reels from the pandemic’s economic effect. The first Hondurans hoping to reach the United States arrived at the Guatemala border on foot on Thursday morning as part of a newly-formed caravan, testing the newly reopened frontier that had been shut thanks to the coronavirus pandemic a month before the US presidential elections. Calls for a new caravan to leave on October 1 had circulated for weeks on social media, and unconfirmed posts on social media appear to show groups travelling through Honduras towards the border. The odds of a large migrant caravan reaching the US border, already low, have grown increasingly slim over the past year. El viaje se ha hecho aún más peligroso, dada la actual pandemia global de #COVID19.#NoExpongasTusHijos#SuFuturoEstáAquí pic.twitter.com/8KcKBHcee0 — U.S. Embassy Honduras October 1, 2020 Translation: Now more than ever, it is more difficult to illegally cross the US border.
