Amber-plus list: Why were extra travel restrictions imposed on France?

There has been criticism of a lack of transparency about the data used to make decisions about travel restrictions.

We don't know exactly when the JBC was looking at the Gisaid data while it was assessing the risk from France but during July the French data was updated. On 29 July, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab told BBC News the decision was "based on the prevalence of the so-called Beta variant, in particular in the Reunion bit of France, which of course is away from the mainland".

Reunion is on the amber list and given the figures for the Beta variant there, the government's stricter quarantine requirements for France surprisingly do not apply to people arriving from Reunion.The day after Mr Raab's interview, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps told BBC News that it wasn't about Reunion. "It was actually the Beta variants they were picking up from France."Scientists have questioned why the JBC was so concerned about the Beta variant in the first place.
