Britons advised against non-essential foreign travel

The initial period will be for 30 days

Britons have been advised against non-essential travel to anywhere in the world as the coronavirus crisis closed borders around the globe.

Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said the fast-paced nature of the crisis meant that it was now necessary to issue global guidance.

The advice takes effect immediately and would last for an initial 30-day period.

Mr Raab said: "UK travellers abroad now face widespread international border restrictions and lock downs in various countries.

"The speed and range of those measures across other countries is unprecedented.

"So I have taken the decision to advise British nationals against all non-essential international travel."
