Changes to French COVID protocol

French authorities have introduced new rules for hauliers.

Hauliers returning to France within 48 hours of arrival in the UK no longer require a COVID-19 test.

Hauliers from the Republic of Ireland can now rely on a negative test taken in Ireland if the test was carried out within 72 hours of departure from a UK port for France.
