France mulls tightening entries from UK due to omicron
France is considering tightening restrictions for travelers arriving from the United Kingdom, where the omicron variant appears to be spreading swiftly.
"Regarding Britain, the current rule is to show a negative test less than 48 hours old in order to enter France," French government spokesman Gabriel Attal told France Info radio on Tuesday. "But we are always looking at means to tighten the framework, we are currently working on that and we should, I think, come to a conclusion in the coming days."
