The Netherlands has banned flights from Britain from 6am on Sunday, following the spread of a new, possibly more infectious variant of coronavirus in the south of England.
The ban will run until January 1, 2021 ‘unless officials decide to shorten or extend it’, according to the transport ministry regulations published on Saturday night.
The ban follows recommendations by Dutch public health institute RIVM which says movements between the two countries should be limited as much as possible to try to control the spread of the virus. Road, sea and train travel is so far unaffected, but the government is considering ‘additional measures regarding other forms of transport.’
