Entering France from GB, including LGV drivers

pierrot 14:
Simon, the new strain hasn’t been circulating here since Sept/Oct.
France and Spain have only recently had cases of it, found on several people returning from the UK.
One was in Tours and another in Madrid.

OK.
But I have recently read reports, in the newspapers so that is a questionable source. They claimed this new strain had been circulating for several months, unreported, in Europe. Since Sept’ in some reports, since Oct’ in others.
