Hyderabad: The woes of Canada-bound passengers from Hyderabad, who were stranded in Abu Dhabi continue as they had tested positive for Covid-19 on arrival — hours before the connecting flight — and unable to take their onward journey to Toronto.

The passengers have written to Etihad authorities to shift them to separate hotel rooms for isolation, instead of the six-people-in-a-room facility. They were also ready to pay for better facilities.

One of the passengers, Ujwal Gollapudi, an operations manager for Amazon, has also complained that there was no proper internet facility at the place. He said while he wanted to resume work, but was unable to do it due to internet connectivity issues.

“How long can we continue in such a difficult situation?” asked Ujwal.
