Just to provide some anecdotal evidence in support of the blockade: here in Amsterdam, there are (or were before the weekend) still groups of UK tourists arriving, clearly not quarantining on arrival, going from coffee shop to supermarket to takeaway place. I was imagining that it would only increase around christmas / new year. Indeed the mutated strain has already been found here, but I can imagine that not blocking UK travellers would lead to a lot more of this new strain. Netherlands is already in a bit of a precarious place (thank you Black Friday) so they're keen to keep it as locked down as possible.
