The British government maintained its stance on Monday over travellers from France undergoing a 10-day quarantine as it lifted restrictions in England to stem the spread of the coronavirus pandemic despite rocketing infection rates from the Delta variant.
On the day Boris Johnson s administration implemented its much-hyped Freedom Day, it insisted that visitors from France posed a threat because of the Beta variant of the coronavirus.
Despite data showing that the Beta variant is prevalent in French territories 8,000km away in La Reunion and Mayotte, travellers - including British nationals - will be forced to stay in one location once back in Britain and undergo PCR tests on the second and eighth day of their quarantine.
