People coming to the United Kingdom from France and the Netherlands will be forced to quarantine for 14 days from tomorrow (Saturday).

The country’s Transport Secretary, GRANT SHAPPS said the measure also applies to people travelling from Monaco, Malta, Turks and Caicos, and Aruba.

He added that this was necessary to keep coronavirus infections down.

France has however warned that the UK decision would lead to "reciprocal measures" across the Channel.
