Re: Covid-19: Almost 3,000 lorries stuck in Kent as UK and France
More than 2,850 lorries are stuck in Kent waiting to leave the UK, the county council has said, as politicians thrash out a plan to reopen France's border to trade and travel.
France shut its UK border for 48 hours on Sunday amid fears of a new coronavirus variant.
Any solution would probably include testing for lorry drivers, BBC Paris correspondent Hugh Schofield said.

Testing everyone who was on the border take a lot of time so probably a week is needed to clear the vehicle on the highway.
