Covid-19: Paris strikes London over isolation of travelers returning from France

The UK has decided to isolate people from France, Due to fears of beta variation. Something on the French side is scary. “The decision of the British authorities to impose this compulsory isolation on the French is not politically motivated, it is politically motivated, in our opinion, an exaggeration,” government spokesman Gabriel Attal told the Council of Ministers.

He said the French government was “absolutely out of the door” on possible interactions, indicating that Paris was in touch with London on the matter. The British government was surprised on Friday by announcing that travelers, including British residents, who have spent at least ten days in France, should adhere to an isolation following their arrival, even though they have been fully vaccinated against Covit-19.
