Indian Australians are calling on Prime Minister Scott Morrison's government to help stranded citizens in the COVID-19-stricken country to come home.
Syndey-based cardiologist Dr. Yadu Singh believes the government has to work towards mass repatriation. She says the Morrison government is "morally obliged to do everything for Australians who are stuck there."
“I have been approached by a lot of Indians in Australia who say we actually need to do more. I urge Mr. Morrison to consider a separate quarantine facility, where they are not causing risk to other arrivals,” Singh told The Guardian.
