The British government made the decision Thursday after France reported 2,846 new COVID-19 cases in 24 hours. It gave British tourists in the country until 4 a.m. Saturday to leave the country or face a two-week mandatory quarantine once they returned.
The quarantine was announced when Britain removed France from a list of countries that were exempt from traveler quarantine requests, and unleashed a mad dash for the border, with 500,000 tourists scrambling to buy train and airline tickets to return home.
One British mother said she was forced to leave two of her children with her husband in France as she fled on the last Eurostar train with her baby. “I could only find one ticket for me and my baby to get back,” she told Sky News. “I had to do this because of my job. My husband and two daughters will come back on Monday. … This is all just utter madness.”
In addition to France, the British government added the Netherlands, Malta, Monaco and the Caribbean islands of Aruba and Turks & Caicos to the quarantine list.
