  • Summary

  • Peter was in south-west China when the pandemic was declared, on a regular business trip and visiting his wife's family. Already experiencing lockdowns in China from early 2020 even before the pandemic was declared, Peter heeded the early advice from the Morrison government to shelter in place. Arriving in China in January 2020 and booked to return to Australia in July 2020, and likening the pandemic to SARS which was over in a few months, Peter didn't think it would take him, his wife and daughter 18 months to get home. Exiting China was a fraught exercise, and the deteriorating relationship between China and Australia adding to the complexity. And once he did get back, his family were forced into hotel quarantine – a nightmare because both he and his daughter suffered from anxiety. This is Peter's story.
