"At first we were allowed to go out for 20 to 30 minutes at a time to get groceries or medication or any kind of things we might need. But two people in our hostel tested positive for COVID-19 and because of that ,all 150 people who are staying at the hostel got completely shut down," said Brandenburg.
The military took over hostels when the two patients tested positive.
