The Romanian Embassy in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland continues to monitor developments at the British-French border and is ready to provide consular assistance to Romanian citizens facing difficult situations, according to a press release sent to AGERPRES.

The press release provides up-to-date information on traffic conditions at the border between the United Kingdom and France.

Thus, at the Folkestone - Eurotunnel crossing point, traffic flows smoothly, and passengers who come with the result of the COVID-19 test can board trains to cross the English Channel to France. There are no more blocked Romanian citizens.

In Dover, the blockade of the Manston Airport car park was resolved and all the trucks there went to France. The British authorities announced that 15,526 tests had been performed, of which only 36 were positive.
