People queue at Biarritz Airport on August 14, 2020, the day before the UK imposed quarantine on people arriving from France. Bowen added that one of his friends wanted to book a Eurostar train back to the UK before quarantine was imposed. British Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said the government's decision to end the travel corridors with France and the other destinations was based on the latest available coronavirus data. France is British holidaymakers' second-most popular holiday destination behind Spain, which was recently put on the UK government's quarantine list. Anyone found to have breached the quarantine restrictions could face a fine of £1,000 in England, according to the government's website.
