Reports are emerging that Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Austria will ban flights/trains from the UK from tonight, and Ireland is also considering travel bans, because of the new Covid strain identified in the UK.
It only needs France to follow and travel to the EU will essentially be stopped.
Not clear how it will affect freight and "essential travel".
I can't imagine there will be a halt to all traffic (including ferries) for more than a very short time.
The EU Commission is expected to pronounce an EU-wide position soon.
Looks like we needn't wait till January 1 to stop "free movement".
