HHere, a quick look at what the top holiday destinations that ban travel to the UK say:
France
France said Sunday it would stop all travel from Britain for 48 hours starting at midnight Sunday, including travel “related to the transport of goods by road, air, sea or rail.” The ban on all except unaccompanied freight comes as companies struggle to move goods across the English Channel with days left for Britain to finally abandon EU trade structures. Prime Minister Jean Castex’s office said the 48-hour period would offer time to coordinate a joint EU response that would ultimately allow travel from the UK to resume “with mandatory tests on departure.”
Germany
Germany will stop all air links with the UK from midnight Sunday, with the ban initially scheduled to last until December 31, Health Minister Jens Spahn told ARD public television. Cargo flights will be exempt. A government source said Berlin is already “working on measures” to extend the suspension until January, when the end of Britain’s post-Brexit transition period means it will no longer be covered by EU rules allowing for the ban on flights. .
Italy
Italian Health Minister Roberto Speranza said he signed a decree “that blocks flights from Great Britain and prohibits the entry into Italy of people who have stayed there for the last 14 days.” Anyone already in Italy who has recently traveled from Britain should be tested for the coronavirus, the statement added. The new strain of the virus was found in a person in Italy who recently returned from Britain, the Health Ministry said.
Ireland
Dublin said in a statement that all flights arriving from Britain after midnight Sunday will be banned for at least 48 hours.
