Tammy Phan of Oakland was in the middle of the Inca trail, two hours from the nearest town or road, when she found out Peru was closing its borders and imposing a 15-day quarantine in an effort to stem the spread of coronavirus in the South American country.

“We’re still in the middle of the mountains and there’s no one around,” Phan said. “We found out that Peru had declared a state of emergency.”
