France is to tighten up restrictions on travel to and from Britain to slow the spread of the omicron variant of COVID-19 which is causing record numbers of cases on the other side of the Channel, the government said on Thursday.
“We will put in place a system of controls drastically tighter than the one we have already,” government spokesman Gabriel Attal told BFM-TV, saying returning travellers would need a negative test of less than 24 hours, a quarantine enforced on return to France and trips for tourism limited.
