The French government redoubled its efforts to get the U.K. to reverse Covid-19 restrictions on visitors from France, ahead of a British reassessment of those rules later this week.
French Transport Minister Jean-Baptiste Djebbari said the U.K.’s policy announced last month requiring travelers from France to isolate for up to 10 days and take two tests is based on questionable science. The requirement was dropped for most European countries starting this week.
