France will ban non-essential travel to and from Britain from the weekend to slow the spread of the Omicron Covid-19 variant that is causing record numbers of cases on the other side of the Channel, the government has said.

“to slow the spread of the Omicron Covid-19 variant”

In my world, all travel, to and from the UK, and France for that matter, is non-essential.

I expect a global non-essential travel ban is one of the key goals of the Great Reset's proponents.
