Tourists stranded in India after their vacations were abruptly ended by India’s coronavirus lockdown are running out of money and hoping their embassies can help them get home.
Stranded foreign tourists cut vegetables to make a meal at a hostel in New Delhi, India, Thursday, April 2, 2020. Dozens of tourists from Britain, Canada and Australia are finding themselves stranded in the Indian capital with their vacations abruptly ended by India’s three-week lockdown and stopping of international flights amid new coronavirus.
They were visiting Jodhpur, a town popular for its royal palaces, forts and temples, but were kicked out of their hotel shortly before India announced the lockdown on March 24. They managed to find a hostel in New Delhi that opened its doors to 25 foreign tourists. Australian Matthew Chinery had planned for a long vacation, including the tourist’s paradise of Himalayan Kashmir and learning new sewing techniques he could use for his business back home. But his dream holiday turned nightmarish after the lockdown started.
The medical certificate still didn’t make finding a room easy. He managed to get one with help from a friend, but the hotel’s staff is so scared, they don’t knock at his door to leave his packaged meals. “I’m worried about how all of this is affecting them, I mean my mother is in her late 70s. And I do know that once I get back, I’ve got up to two weeks’ quarantine. I’m happy to do that. I don’t want to be a risk for anyone else there,” Dufty said.
