“We are isolated, alone, scared and only have about two days of money left,” Cesca told local newspaper the Wisbech Standard.

“It’s such a rough place where we are and at night we just hide in our room in the dark.

“There is a little pharmacy here with a bed in it but no doctors.”

Cesca said that the pair were stranded in the airport in Cambodia for 12 hours as officials feared they could spread germs from Wuhan.

She continued: “We heard earlier today that everywhere is closing their borders.

“I’m attempting to get to Turkey as my parents live there but to get back to the UK would be great too.”

She had been in the city for just over two months when the virus broke out.
