Narrative:
The aircraft right center fuel pump low pressure light would not go out with the switch on. The flight would not be legal to operate in ETOPS airspace (ZZZZ-ZZZ). Due to the covid pandemic; deplaning passengers/crew at any of the stations was unavailable. Decision was made to operate the aircraft back to ZZZ1. For fdps originating in ZZZ1: 'the second sequence will begin in either ZZZZ1 or ZZZZ and have no more than one segment; ending in ZZZ.' due to the inability to continue the flight to ZZZ and the inability to deplane the aircraft; the decision was made to have 'crew B' operate the aircraft from ZZZZ2 back to ZZZ1.
