However if you are stuck in country because of flight cancellations or the airline refuses to carry you, you are probably stuck making your own arrangements, although potentially the airlines would have "duty of care" responsibilities.
Why would the airline have duty of care? 'Pandemic' is an act of God.
Why should the hotel eat it? In China many people could not return. Does that mean they do not pay rent?
