Davinia Hamilton had her bags all packed and ready for her flight back to Malta.
Then, on Sunday, the UK government held a press conference where she watched Prime Minister Boris Johnson “cancel Christmas” as he announced London was going into Tier 4.
“It was a difficult decision, but after talking with my close family I decided the safest option was to cancel my flight, so as not to put my family at any risk of the virus,” the Maltese theatre performer and writer said.
This was not the first time that Hamilton has had to cancel her trip back home and described the scenario as ‘déjà vu.’
