President Donald Trump said the U.S. is working to get Americans stranded abroad by coronavirus shutdowns – including a group from the University of South Alabama – back home.

Six people from the University of South Alabama are among a group of American stranded in Peru as the country goes into mandatory quarantine until the end of the month.

Trump said the U.S. is examining its options for bringing “a few hundred” Americans home.

“We’re looking at getting them out, probably through the military,” Trump said.

According to WPMI, the USA students are among a group of 20 who traveled to Peru as part of a Physician Assistant program. The group includes 11 physician assistant students, four paramedic students, two health promotion students, two professional health administration students and one paramedic faculty member. The students are from four different universities – USA, the University of Georgia, Lenoir Rhyne University in North Carolina and Augusta University in Georgia.

USA student Laurel Collins, who is among the students in Peru, told the news channel that regulations are prohibiting people from entering or leaving Peru by land, sea or air. The group tried to schedule a flight out of the country but was unsuccessful.

"We’ve reached out to representatives and our universities are trying everything they can to help get us out. Please share and pray that we (there are 20 of us representing 4 schools in the Southeast) remain safe in Cusco and get home soon," Hill told the news channel.
