Dutch ban UK flights due to virus spread December 19, 2020 at 05:41PM

The ban, which starts at 6am (0500 GMT) on Sunday and lasts until January 1, came hours after Britain announced a stay at home order for part of the country to slow the more infectious variant. The Netherlands is under a five-week lockdown until mid-January with schools and all non-essential shops closed to slow a surge in the virus.
