French passengers will be exempt from quarantine measures that will come into force in the UK amid the pandemic. Boris Johnson said on Sunday they would be imposed on people arriving by air into the UK, to prevent Covid-19 being brought in from overseas. Mr Johnson said he was "serving notice" that quarantine measures were coming. Following his speech, he confirmed a reciprocal deal with the government in Paris meant restrictions would not apply to passengers from France. UK airlines previously said they had been told that any quarantine period would last for 14 days, and that people might be expected to provide an address when they arrive at the border. Government sources had already indicated that people arriving from the Republic of Ireland would not have to self-isolate when the quarantine measures take effect//bbc
