The European Commission has recommended all EU member states to lift their bans on travellers from the UK, after countries across Europe and beyond suspended travel from Britain over concerns about a mutant strain of the CCP virus.

The commission, the European Union’s executive body, adopted the recommendation on Tuesday, saying “any prohibition of transport services, such as flight or train bans, should be discontinued.”
