France should consider closing UK border, says epidemiologist
By EUobserver
Arnaud Fontanet, a member of the scientific council that advises the French government on Covid-19 policy, on Monday said the country should consider closing its border with the UK. "It is important that we consider whether we need to close the borders to a limited number of countries, notably the United Kingdom and Ireland," he told BFM television. Fontanet described the new variant as "nearly a new epidemic".
