The British government is working with France to unblock the border “as fast as possible,” Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Monday afternoon.

In an effort to stem the spread of a new variant of the CCP virus from the UK, the French government suspended all travel from the UK for 48 hours from 11 p.m. Sunday night (midnight Paris time), including travel linked to goods transport by road, air, sea, or rail.
