Kerry's Story

Kerry's Story

Kerry had been working in Singapore since 2017 — her first experience as an expat. By 2020, she was feeling homesick and lonely so she returned to Melbourne for six weeks in February, just before the pandemic was declared by the WHO. Returning to Singapore in July because she still had work commitments, Kerry tried to return to Australia in December 2020 to see her ill father. He sadly passed away in January 2021. Still reeling from the death of her father, she received news in April that her ex-husband had passed away. With the Singapore project transitioning back to Australia, the soonest Kerry could return to Melbourne was May.On arrival, she was forced into the sanctioned torture that was hotel quarantine. This is Kerry's story.
