E.U. urges countries to lift travel bans for Britain
The European Commission said bloc members should move swiftly to lift blanket bans and ensure essential travel with Britain, which is becoming isolated because of a newly discovered variant of the coronavirus that is spreading there. (There’s more on the new variant in our Back Story below.)
More than 50 governments have put in place measures to close the doors on Britain, with Nepal on Tuesday announcing a flight entry ban for people arriving from Britain.
The commission said it was important to maintain movement, and also suggested that countries should use rapid tests for truckers and haulers, rather than time-consuming P.C.R. tests. A bottleneck has built up at the British-French border since the weekend, when France moved to suspend all traffic between the two countries.

Me: But nobody wants the latest variation of the Coronavirus and opening borders will allow its spread to countries which don’t have it, so that is rather pointless.
Put another way, if nobody wants England, then England has to survive on its own, just like after Brexit, which is supposed to happen in the next few days, right?
