A few weeks earlier, the 22-year-old U.S. Peace Corps volunteer had completed a year of service in the Dominican Republic. The Peace Corps was pulling all its volunteers from projects around the world because of concerns about the coronavirus. In a message posted on the Peace Corps website last month, Director Jody Olsen said the decision to temporarily suspend operations was difficult.
