Speaking in the Bundestag lower house of parliament, the 66-year-old said: “In our country, if you come from Great Britain, you have to go into quarantine – and that’s not the case in every European country, and that’s what I would like to see.”

Merkel made her sentiments known ahead of Thursday’s summit with fellow EU leaders,
