The Netherlands has banned flights from Britain from 6am on Sunday, following the spread of a new, possibly more infectious variant of coronavirus in the south of England.
The ban will run until January 1, 2021, the Dutch government said in an update on the measures on Sunday afternoon. ‘On that date, as a result of Brexit, the United Kingdom will become a third country. Travellers from the UK arriving in the Netherlands by airplane or ferry will then have to produce a negative test declaration for COVID-19,’ the statement said.

Rome, 11 December 2020 – Despite the economic consequences of COVID-19, a growing number of countries around the world today stepped up their investments in long-term development, signalling a greater awareness of the links between hunger, inequality and instability which often spark humanitarian crises. By pledging new funds to the UN’s International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), they committed to ensure hundreds of millions of rural people in some of the poorest countries can sustainably access nutritious food and earn decent incomes.
