RISHIKESH, INDIA - Six foreign tourists who tried to sit out the coronavirus pandemic in an Indian cave have been sent to quarantine at an ashram near a town made famous by the Beatles after running out of money, police said on Sunday .
They have now been moved to Swarg Ashram, where they will be quarantined for 14 days - although none have shown coronavirus symptoms. India has been under a nationwide lockdown since late March, with residents permitted to leave their homes only for essential services such as buying groceries or medicine.Some sectors - including agriculture and manufacturing - will be allowed to re-open from Monday to ease the hardships of poorer Indians.
The town was made famous by the Fab Four, who came to Rishikesh in 1968 looking for refuge from Beatlemania, for spiritual enlightenment and to immerse themselves in Indian culture.
