Johnson immediately placed those regions under a strict new Tier 4 restriction level, suspending Christmas plans for millions.

 
Travelling was banned by France from the U.K.  for 48 hours from midnight Sunday, including trucks moving under the English Channel or from the port of Dover on England’s south coast.

It was tweeted by the Port of Doverlt on Sunday night that its ferry terminal was “closed to all accompanied traffic leaving the UK until further notice due to border restrictions in France.” Eurostar passenger trains from London to Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam were also affected by the hault.
