Closing the border, leaving those stranded in the region where the strain is most dominant for two days seems counter productive.

Isolating and testing is the only real solution, no? The lorry drivers are able to sleep in their cabs, so they are able to avoid too much close contact, as well as being away from the general population. Horrible situation to be in and my heart goes out to them, but letting them into France and on to the rest of Europe doesn't seem so smart (if this strain is as contagious as reported).

Isn’t that what quarantining people does?

Perhaps, but if we were in France's position, with almost as many deaths, and currently increasing but not surging infection rates, and your neighbouring country has a big surge in cases attributed to a more infectious variant of the virus, what would you do?
