Australian family stranded in Sri Lanka brought home to Dubai by UAE government

An Australian family of five has been reunited after being stranded in separate countries for nearly a month.

The family were holidaying in Sri Lanka over Eid when new Covid-19 restrictions were put in place, meaning flights home were due to be suspended.

"We attempted to get out [of Sri Lanka], but the PCR tests didn't come back in time," the mother of three told state news agency Wam.
