Britain and France are preparing a plan to restore freight transport

The United Kingdom and France are preparing a plan to resume trade and travel between countries. This is after France closed the border for 48 hours on Sunday due to fears of a new coronavirus strain in England.

The measures, which will be agreed upon by Prime Minister Boris Johnson and President Emmanuel Macron, are due to be announced today and are due to take effect on Wednesday, said French Minister for European Affairs Clément Beaune. The BBC news portal informs about it. The new virus mutation has caused concern not only in the United Kingdom and France, but around the world. As a result, more than 40 countries cut off transport links with Britain. According to the BBC, representatives of the Member States of the European Union will meet in Brussels to discuss a coordinated response, which should include sharing expertise on the dangers posed by the new strain of the virus. Member States are reportedly pushing for testing of all newcomers from Britain for the presence of a new coronavirus. At least 945 trucks were stranded at Dover Harbor to stop freight traffic, and their drivers had already spent two nights there.
