It is very unlikely that all AFS students will again be repatriated during the coming year. Rather, the priority will be to support students and host families throughout the program cycle, including when/if a shelter in place scenario once again becomes necessary. Students and natural parents can always make the decision to end their program participation early, however AFS-USA does not consider a nation-wide repatriation likely.
