France said it will ease coronavirus curbs introduced last month on travellers from Britain, enabling vaccinated tourists to visit from Friday providing they have a negative test, according to AFP.

The government has decided to end a blanket ban on non-essential travel, announced on December 16 when “the epidemic was spreading at a spectacular rate in the United Kingdom,” the prime minister's office said Thursday.

All travellers from the UK will have to show a negative PCR or antigen test taken 24 hours before their departure.
