France has agreed to lift its ban on arrivals to the UK on the condition that a coronavirus test is negative. However, there have been reports of skirmishes on the UK-France border, as truckers face days before the nearly 1,500 trucks can begin moving to their destinations.
During what is an annual festive and festive period in the UK with Christmas and New Years, millions in the country had their plans to meet friends and family thwarted after UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson left a ” Christmas bubble “planned for five days after scientists confirmed that the new variant of COVID-19 was spreading more rapidly.
Under the revised rules, only people living in levels one through three can socialize in a three-household bubble on December 25 for Christmas Day. Those in Level 4 areas should only celebrate Christmas with members of their own household and bubble of support. They will not be allowed to travel to other levels to see family and friends.
The Opposition Labor Party has accused Johnson of having “always been behind the COVID curve” and urged him to act quickly.
“If the scientific council has stricter restrictions, don’t sit around for weeks like you did last time, don’t hesitate, don’t delay because that has disastrous consequences, take the steps that are needed now to save lives.” said Jon Ashworth, Labor’s shadow health secretary.
However, Labor leader Sir Keir Starmer wrote to Johnson to say that his party will back any move by the government to tighten restrictions if that is what the scientists recommend.
