A group of Canadian children is stuck in Peru after the country declared a state of national emergency and closed it's border due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, according to CTV News.
19 children were on a school trip to Peru and now their parents are desperately trying to get them home.
These students attend the Country Day School in King City, Ontario, and now find themselves stuck in Peru's capital Lima with no conceivable method of getting home.
The students are all in grade ten and twelve, and are self-isolating in a hotel in the capital. Thankfully, two teachers are also present.
