A comment on U.S. will suspend all travel from Europe for 30 days. Parent comment
Remember that UK is very close to continental Europe
Strait of Dover is just 33 km wide.
One could almost swim from one side to the other.
And there's a tunnel connecting the two, you can already go by train from France to UK.
Ireland and UK are even closer than that (about 20kms)
And they are all the same "mass of land" as in tectonic plate.
Iceland for example cannot entirely be considered Europe, the Eurasian plate cut it exactly in a half.
