However, for Britons who need to travel for essential purposes, there may be some difficulties when jetting off to certain destinations.
France
Following the discovery of a new strain of COVID-19 in the UK, France temporarily stopped all travel with the UK.
However, this has since been lifted in favour of new restrictions.
According to the FCDO: “France restricted travel from the UK from 24:00 (CET) on 20 December.
“This travel restriction applies to air, car, ferry and train passengers.
“From 24:00 (CET) on December 22, until at least January 6 (subject to a possible review), only the following categories of people will be authorised to travel to France from the UK: French nationals and nationals of the European Area, and their spouses and children; British and/or third-country nationals who are either permanently resident in France, the European Union or the European Area; or British nationals moving to France to settle, on or before 31 December 2020; British or third-country nationals travelling for certain exceptional reasons.”
All arrivals from the UK must now present a negative COVID-19 test taken less than 72 hours before departure.
Britons due to travel to France for reasons not exempt to the rules are advised to contact their travel operator for further updates.
Travellers returning from France to the UK will require a period of self-isolation.
