Depends what you mean by "resolved". Every lorry driver going to France still has to have had a recent negative test. We put a huge effort into testing every driver in the queue, so the backlog is now cleared, but every driver still has to be tested.

Grant Shapps BBC today:
" ........ the chaos seen last month while the post-Brexit transition period was still in place was due to the French closing the border because of concerns over the UK strain of coronavirus and was nothing to do with the change of paperwork.

We may well see busy times again but actually at the moment the border is in fact flowing and it's flowing very smoothly."

'Shane Brennan, chief executive of the Cold Chain Federation, which represents chilled transport and storage companies, said the emerging problems have come despite the amount of cross border traffic still being quite low.

"Trade flows are still only about 50% of what we would expect, but even at those levels we are seeing levels of confusion and delays," he told the BBC's Today programme. "The feeling is we are building to quite a significant potential disruption."'
