British army helps clear backlog of virus-stranded drivers

Read full article: British army helps clear backlog of virus-stranded drivers

Trucks inched slowly past checkpoints in Dover and headed across the Channel to Calais on Thursday after France partially reopened its borders following a scare over a rapidly spreading new virus variant. The military personnel were directing traffic and helping a mass testing program for the drivers, who must test negative to enter France. French firefighters have also been drafted to help the military test drivers for coronavirus. Most of the testing is being conducted at a disused airfield at Manston Airport, 20 miles (33 kilometers) from Dover. Free food and drink was being sent to the stranded truck drivers and more than 250 portable toilets were put in at Manston, with 32 others placed along the gridlocked M20 highway.

The announcement of the coronavirus variant came as Europe has been walloped by soaring new virus infections and deaths.

Quick tests will be accepted if they are able to detect the new virus variant, Djebbari said. The problem, he explained, is that the empty trucks sitting in England can’t reach the continent to pick up deliveries for Britain. The virus is blamed for 1.7 million deaths worldwide, including more than 68,000 in Britain, the second-highest death toll in Europe, behind Italy’s 69,000. Switzerland was one of the 40-odd countries to ban flights from Britain over the new variant. ___Angela Charlton in Paris, Jo Kearney in Dover, England, Lorne Cook in Brussels and Frank Jordans in Berlin contributed to this report.

(AP Photo/Kirsty Wigglesworth)As COVID-19 vaccinations are distributed across the United States, a new variant of COVID-19 is hitting the United Kingdom, triggering travel restrictions. From Canada to India, one nation after another banned flights from Britain, while France barred the entry of trucks from Britain for 48 hours while the strain is assessed. “With that comes a huge amount of political friction and in turn that has affected the daily lives of all 65 million people in the UK,” Mahon said. The virus is blamed for 1.7 million deaths worldwide, including about 68,000 in Britain, the second-highest death toll in Europe, behind Italy’s 69,000. Canada, India, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Sweden were among the countries that suspended flights from Britain for various lengths of time.

It's part of Britain's new border with the European Union, and no one asked the locals for their permission. (AP Photo/Matt Dunham)SEVINGTON – Four years after Britain voted to leave the European Union, Brexit can still seem abstract.
