Peruvian President Martin Vizcarra has extended the country's lockdown and travel restrictions for another two weeks to May 10.

Under the strict lockdown, millions of people have lost their jobs and migrant workers have also become jobless and homeless after weeks of quarantine.

In the capital Lima, hundreds of people camp out in temporary shelters unable to return home.

"I came to Lima, and I don't have a place to live. My husband was laid off from work, he was working and the company closed. Everything is closed. I want to travel to Piura (region of Peru). I'm from Piura and have four children," a migrant resident said.

The number of COVID-19 cases in Peru has doubled in the last two weeks to nearly 21,000.

Peru's president said extending the lockdown was the only way to protect the public.
