France will lift its ban on travel from the United Kingdom (UK) from Wednesday subject to a negative COVID-19 test result, the Prime Minister's Office said on Tuesday.
French citizens and foreigners residing in France or in the European Area or those who "must make essential trips" can enter France if they have, "before departure, the result of a negative test (for COVID-19) less than 72 hours old," said the office in a statement.
Jean-Baptiste Djebbari, minister delegate in charge of transport, told journalists that "French and EU nationals as well as those who have a legitimate reason to travel" could return to France within the next ten-odd days, that is, until Jan. 6. The measure will then be "re-examined."
Since midnight Sunday, France, like many other European countries including Germany and the Netherlands, has suspended the movement of people and goods from the UK for 48 hours after the UK announced that the spread of a highly infectious new coronavirus strain went "out of control."
