More than 40 countries have been restricted from entering the UK due to concerns over the corona19 virus variant spreading in the UK.
According to the BBC and Reuters, an increasing number of countries are currently stopping flights from the UK, mainly in Europe and Asia.
France has announced that it has completely banned entry from the UK for 48 hours starting at 21:00 am, and entry into France through the Eurotunnel as well as ports such as Dover Port has been blocked.
Germany, Belgium, Ireland, Italy, Romania, Russia, Switzerland, Spain and Canada have also restricted entry from the UK via air, rail and ports.
However, after discussing countermeasures at the EU level, it was decided to come up with plans soon to resume entry for travelers from the UK.
In Asia, India and Hong Kong have introduced bans from the UK.
As a result of this move, the London Stock Exchange's FTSE 100 index closed down 1.73% compared to the previous trading day, and the pound-dollar exchange rate also fell 1.16% as of 6pm GMT.
"The news for the last 24 hours is really anxious," said Starmer, the leader of the UK's No. 1 opposition party, and diagnosed it as a "real emergency."
Prime Minister Johnson held an emergency security meeting this afternoon and held a press conference and said that he and French President Macron would try to resolve the confusion at the border as soon as possible.
Johnson advised against hoarding, as the possibility of shortage of food products in the UK due to border confusion ahead of Christmas is not high.
Earlier, Britain imposed emergency containment orders in the capital London and southeast England over the weekend due to a virus strain, which is 70% highly infectious.
On this day, there were 33,000 new cases of Corona 19 in the UK each day, almost twice the average of the previous week.
