Fears rise over EU travel ban for Brits as Brexit chaos looms
Fears are rising that Brits may be barred from visiting EU countries from January 1 when existing Covid safety rules no longer apply to the UK.
Only a handful of non-EU countries with low coronavirus rates are exempt from rules that prohibit non-essential visitors from outside the EU and European Economic Area (EEA).
Countries on the non-EU safe list include Australia, New Zealand and Singapore.
The UK only has an exemption until the end of the Brexit transition period, with the European Commission indicating that it would not be extended beyond January 1.
It could mean most of the EU being out of bounds for UK travellers, throwing the travel plans for millions of Britons into chaos
Norway has already said it will stop British citizens from entering the country from the new year.
A UK government spokesperson said: "We cannot comment on decisions that could be taken by other states on public health matters.
"We take a scientific, risk-based approach to health measures at the border, and it is of course in the interests of all countries to allow safe international travel as we emerge from the pandemic."
