When Antoine Pouliot-Hamel left Quebec City for Peru, he was looking forward to a three-week break. The Pariwana Hostel in Cusco, Peru, where Pouliot-Hamel is staying, is on lockdown following two guests testing positive for COVID-19, according to hostel management. Employees of the Pariwana Hostel in Cusco, Peru inform guests of two confirmed COVID-19 results on March 25. Pouliot-Hamel said hostel guests have been told by officials at the Canadian embassy in Peru that there will be someone working full time on their cases as of Monday. Pouliot-Hamel said tempers are starting to flare inside the hostel — guests are hungry and asking for more food, and employees are getting impatient with their demands.
