Travellers coming to the UK from France will not have to be quarantined after the two countries agreed a reciprocal arrangement.
Boris Johnson had announced on Sunday evening that “it will soon be the time to impose quarantine on people coming into this country by air”.
However, Downing Street later added: “No quarantine measures would apply to travellers coming from France at this stage.”
Mr Johnson and French President Emmanuel Macron agreed on the COVID-19 measures today during a phone call.
In a joint statement, they said: “Any measures on either side would be taken in a concerted and reciprocal manner.”
A working group made up of both French and British officials would be set up to ensure the consultation happened in the coming weeks, they said.
Earlier this week, France said new quarantine and isolation measures could be introduced for all travellers into the country.
