“#France opens beach-side coronavirus testing sites in tourist areas<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n France has opened beachside coronavirus testing sites in tourist areas amid fears over a second wave sweeping across Europe.<\/p>\n

It comes as both Britain and Germany shutdown holiday travel<\/a> to Spain as the nation saw a significant rise in the number of coronavirus cases.<\/p>\n

Medics offering nasal swab tests are now app<\/a>earing at busy locations in France including beaches, parks and train stations.<\/p>\n

Extra testing services are also being rolled out at airports in a bid to keep tabs on a potential rise in cases.<\/p>\n

Bars and beaches were also placed under curfew in Brittany after 19 new cases were reported last week in Quiberon.<\/p>\n

France is connected to the UK by an air bridge, meaning tourists can go on holiday and not face a two week quarantine when they return home.<\/p>\n

Spain also was connected in this way, before the Government dramatically knocked away the bridge \u2013 leaving 600,000 Brits facing a fortnight in isolation.<\/p>\n

The Foreign Office have warned all of the special travel corridors are now at risk \u2013 as Prime Minister Boris Johnson said there are \u201csigns of a second wave\u201d in Europe.<\/p>\n

British officials are said to be closely watching rises in coroanvirus cases in France \u2013 along with Germany, which is also warned to be facing a second wave.<\/p>\n

France has not seen as a dramatic an increase in cases as Spain has, but the figures have been creeping up.<\/p>\n

It hit a low of 81 cases on June 24, but this week France has seen more than thousand cases a day for four consecutive days for the first time since April.<\/p>\n

July 23, 24, 25 and 26 all saw the worrying figures, before the numbers dipped again to just 517 on July 27.<\/p>\n

Spain meanwhile has seen over 2,000 cases a day since July 23, and over 1,000 cases a day since July 15, from lows of 167 on June 8.<\/p>\n

The PM warned: \u201cWhat we have to do is take swift and decisive action where we think that the risks are starting to bubble up again.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s be absolutely clear about what\u2019s happening in Europe, amongst some of our European friends, I\u2019m afraid you are starting to see in some places the signs of a second wave of the pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Foreign secretary Dominic Raab has also warned more countries could be axed from the UK\u2019s safe travel list at very short notice.<\/p>\n

Speakingon Sky, he said: \u201cAs we\u2019ve found with Spain, we can\u2019t give a guarantee.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cI\u2019m not going to tell people what they should or shouldn\u2019t do.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey should follow the advice. I\u2019m going to be staying at home this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n

France lamented the situation as cases surge across the continent, saying there has been a \u201cclear increase\u201d since the lifting of lockdown and progress has been \u201cerased\u201d.<\/p>\n

The health ministry said: \u201cWe have returned to levels comparable with those at the end of the lockdown period.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have thus erased a good part of the progress made during the initial weeks since the lockdown was lifted.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s more essential than ever to reimpose our collective discipline.\u201d<\/p>\n

And meanwhile Germany is also bracing itself for a second wave as one official warned the coronavirus was already back.<\/p>\n

Germany\u2019s daily case count hit 818 on Friday, its highest number since June 17.<\/p>\n

The R rate \u2013 which estimates how many people one person with coronavirus infects \u2013 was up to 1.16 in Germany over the past week.<\/p>\n

Health chief Lothar Wieler said: \u201cWe must prevent that the virus once again spreads rapidly and uncontrollably.\u201d<\/p>\n

England\u2019s Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty addressed Cabinet\u2019s \u201cCovid-O\u201d committee and called for Spain to be added to the quarantine list.<\/p>\n

The \u201cclincher\u201d that convinced senior ministers to introduce the quarantine was when they were told that 10 Brits had tested positive for the bug since July 1 after visiting Spain.<\/p>\n

Prof Whitty said the number was \u201cstatistically significant\u201d and that Covid-19 cases in Spain had jumped by 75 percent.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a small number but it was statistically significant enough to cause concern,\u201d a source who was briefed on the meeting told the Telegraph.<\/p>\n

Majorca, Ibiza and Canary Islands are bidding to be excluded from the two-week Spain quarantine as they hope to continue welcoming back tourists.<\/p>\n

Junior Health Minister Helen Whatley said: \u201cFor some of the islands, the rates are indeed going up, also there is some movement of travel between the islands and the mainland, so we had to do a clear policy that would best protect the United Kingdom.\u201d<\/p>\n

European nations had been hopeful of reopening after being ravaged by the virus in March and April as the epicenter of the pandemic shifted to South America and the US.<\/p>\n

EU chiefs last week announced a colossal coronavirus stimulus plan worth more than $866 billion after four nights of talks.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
