British nationals are being advised against any non-essential travel globally for 30 days because of the coronavirus pandemic, British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab told the House of Commons Tuesday.

He reiterated that the Foreign Office was continuing to work to repatriate citizens who were stranded on cruise ships, but added that government-supported repatriations were costly and only undertaken in exceptional circumstances.

He added that freight would not be impacted as it’s considered essential travel.
