It was more contagious than the old strain.

EU countries must develop a single plan to rail, sea and road transport through the Channel Tunnel.

The control of travel to and from European countries is the responsibility of national governments, but the European Commission can coordinate, facilitate the exchange of information and make recommendations.

Meanwhile, the government of Chancellor Angela Merkel decided to stop flights to and from the UK from midnight.

The prohibition does not apply to cargo planes carrying goods and mail.

The good news is that the new strain of coronavirus has yet to be detected in Germany.
