The Defense Ministry announced in London on Friday that 300 soldiers were already on duty to test drivers for the corona virus as quickly as possible. Poland also sent helpers and corona tests to shorten waiting times for drivers. The resolution of the accumulation should take days.

Thousands of truckers had been stranded in England since last Sunday after France completely closed its border due to a new, possibly even more contagious variant of the coronavirus. On Wednesday an agreement was reached between London and Paris. Truck drivers must undergo a rapid corona test before they can cross the Canal by boat or the Eurotunnel, an important logistical task.

British Transport Minister Grant Shapps announced on Thursday that more than 2-300 drivers had already been tested, of whom only three had tested positive.

Poland sent a 60-strong army medical team to Dover on Friday to help test Polish truckers. A first delegation of Polish doctors and nurses had already tested 1,260 truck drivers on Friday morning, Michal Dworczyk, head of the government’s chancellery, announced on Twitter. In addition, the country has made 15,000 corona tests available.

Polish Army soldiers also distributed food. According to the Warsaw government, several thousand Polish drivers were stranded in England on Friday. “We are determined that all Polish truckers return home,” said Dworczyk.

According to the British news agency PA, several thousand trucks had started the journey by ferry or the Eurotunnel on Friday. According to PA, more than 5,000 trucks remained stuck at the disused Manston airfield and on a cordoned off portion of the M20 motorway. Many of the drivers complained of running out of food and water. There are also no bathrooms for many.
