The Dutch government has banned flights from the UK to the Netherlands until the new year due to the spread of a new strain of Covid-19 in Britain.
The order will be in force from 6am on 20 December until 1 January at the earliest, the Dutch government said on its website.
In a statement, it added: “Pending further information and an explanation of the epidemiological situation in the United Kingdom, [the public health institute] recommends that any introduction of this virus strain from the United Kingdom should be limited as much as possible by limiting or controlling passenger movements.”
Health workers had detected a case of the new mutant virus inside the Netherlands, the statement said.
