<p>The Government has committed up to £75 million to help thousands of British people
return home from priority countries where there is greatest need. As of 30 April,
we have brought back more than 21,000 people on 102 flights organised by the Foreign
Office from 21 different countries and territories. We have helped 85 British nationals
in Panama access commercial repatriation flights, including a group of 46 people who
were attending the Tribal Gathering festival. Our Embassy in Panama City has provided
domestic transportation, safe passage documentation, and secure access to multiple
exceptional departure options.</p><p>We will continue working to bring British nationals
back to the UK where commercial options do not exist, focusing on the most vulnerable.
We are still working through future plans, identifying where needs are greatest, and
where charter flights will have the greatest impact on vulnerable British nationals
overseas. British Embassy Panama City's Travel Advice and social media channels are
updated frequently with information on lockdown measures and departure options, where
available. Those affected can contact the Embassy directly by emailing BEPanama.CV@fco.gov.uk.</p>
