Ireland and islands also affected
Post: No more parcels to the UK

France and other EU countries have closed the borders with the United Kingdom due to the rapid spread of the new Corona variant. Due to the interrupted transport routes, Deutsche Post no longer accepts parcel shipments to Great Britain and Ireland.

Due to the limited transport connections to Great Britain and Ireland due to the Corona, Deutsche Post will no longer accept parcels and mail items to these two countries with immediate effect and until further notice.

German postal service 39.79

As the Bonn-based logistics group announced, there is now a "complete delivery stop", and consignments containing goods and bulky goods would have to be returned to the sender due to a lack of storage capacity. A company spokesman said that this may affect shipments that were posted over the weekend. Letters and postcards are not affected until further notice.

Eurotunnel closed for at least 48 hours

The reason for this is the restricted transport connections with the United Kingdom from December 20th and 21st, ordered by various European governments, which are important transport routes for Deutsche Post DHL. The Eurotunnel is expected to be closed for at least 48 hours, and the same applies to the ferry ports. The Group's transport routes to Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are also affected.

After the appearance of a new and apparently much more contagious variant of the corona virus, numerous countries in Europe and other continents cut transport links to Great Britain. In Germany, air traffic from the United Kingdom has been suspended since Monday. France stopped all passenger traffic from the country for 48 hours.

According to information from government circles in Berlin, air traffic with Great Britain will initially be suspended until December 31. Further regulations are still being worked on. The EU is therefore working on a joint decision on restrictions for maritime and road transport.
