Coronavirus latest guidance sent to instructors

The following is a shortened version of the official statement:

Coronavirus (COVID-19) guidance for instructors

We’re sending you this email because the government’s advice about the coronavirus outbreak has changed.

Stay at home if you have coronavirus symptoms

Stay at home for 7 days if you have either:

• a high temperature

• a new continuous cough

Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital.

Use the NHS 111 online coronavirus service if:

• you feel you cannot cope with your symptoms at home

• your condition gets worse

• your symptoms do not get better after 7 days

What DVSA is doing 

We are emailing instructions to anyone with a test booked in the next week to let them know what they need to do.

Theory tests and driving tests

We will rebook your pupil's test free of charge if it has to be cancelled or changed because either:

• they have coronavirus symptoms 

• you have coronavirus symptoms and they were going to use your car

It will be done free of charge even if it's done at short notice (within 3 clear working days of the test).
