MOMENTS OF TENSION OCCURRED BETWEEN TRUCK DRIVERS AND THE POLICE
There is chaos in Dover, England, where France is waiting for hundreds of trucks following the decision to open land traffic with England on a restricted basis. France allowed truck and truck drivers who underwent a coronavirus test and people with a residence permit to cross the border in exchange for a coronavirus test. But the chaos in the region continues. Thousands of drivers from all over Europe have been stranded in England for days.
The shared images show that drivers are experiencing tension with the police at the Calais / Dover crossing, which was closed last Sunday night, amid the chaos believed to be linked to the new species of Kovid, which it is described as highly contagious. The violence was reported to have erupted around 8 a.m. Wednesday, when a small group of truckers attempted to cross police lines.
“Drivers returned to the area when the news about the border broke, but that’s not the case,” said Rod McKenzie of the Trucking Association. “The tests have not started yet, so the drivers cannot go to France.” Added.

The British Army is conducting rapid coronavirus tests at Manston Airport, which can give results in about 30 minutes, to end congestion as soon as possible and to get drivers home from Christmas.
But there is concern that these rapid tests could miss many positive cases of coronavirus infection. Authorities say it can take several days for all drivers who have been waiting at the border for days to complete the test.
On the other hand, it is among the news that the philanthropists of the region have distributed hot meals to drivers who have been stranded for days.
“YOU CAN BUY ONLY 3 TOILET PAPER”

“Our stores have good stocks and our customers should shop as usual,” the statement read. It was said.
