Six tourists, including one American, have been rescued after hiding from the coronavirus pandemic in a cave in India for nearly a month.
After being picked up by police on Saturday, the group was tested for coronavirus and all results came back negative, officials said. But as a precaution, the six were being required to quarantine at a spiritual sanctuary in the area.
The American — identified by police as Michael Falcone, 38, from Connecticut — has been in the country since November, police said. The other tourists were from Ukraine, Turkey, France and Nepal. Tourists stuck in the country do not risk overstaying their visitors' visas, which have been all extended to May 3 as part of the nationwide lockdown.
There are between 40 and 50 American citizens scheduled to leave Uttarakhand on Wednesday with the support of the U.S. Embassy, Dheeraj Singh Gabriyal, district magistrate of the Pauri Garhwal district, told NBC News in a telephone interview. However, the American found in the cave will not be able to join them.
"Right now they have to finish their 14 quarantine period first," Gabriyal said. Once that's complete, arrangements can be made to repatriate them.
