Dover/Folkestone Update - Both Eurotunnel and the Port of Dover will reopen this morning (circa 7am) for Freight travel from UK to France HOWEVER Drivers will only be allowed to board if they have proof of a Negative COVID test from within the last 72 hours. Currently the UK military is organising Covid Testing with the “Lateral Flow” test (result within circa 30 minutes) at MANSTON Airport, hopefully this testing will be expanded to other locations but at present there is no further information on this. Drivers WILL not be allowed to travel without a Negative Covid test (result sent by SMS so they must not travel to the port or Eurotunnel without one. Whilst it is positive news that the situation is starting to move, the process will take some time so expect a continuation of significant time and Government strongly advise that Vehicles currently not in Kent should not attempt to travel there. Further updates as and when received.
