Britain and France have reached an agreement on re-opening the border, two days after the French government banned all UK arrivals, including hauliers, over concerns about a new variant of the CCP virus detected in the UK.

“Good progress today and agreement with the French Government on borders,” Britain’s Transport Secretary Grant Shapps wrote on Twitter.
