France and Netherlands added to UK travel quarantine list

[LONDON] Britain on Thursday reimposed quarantine for travellers from France and the Netherlands following a rise in coronavirus cases in those countries.

"Data shows we need to remove France, the Netherlands, Monaco, Malta, Turks & Caicos & Aruba from our list of #coronavirus Travel Corridors to keep infection rates DOWN," transport minister Grant Shapps wrote on his official Twitter page.

"If you arrive in the UK after 0400 Saturday from these destinations, you will need to self-isolate for 14 days," Mr Shapps added.
