Stay at home for 7 days if you have either:

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

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

- 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).
This includes ADI part 2 tests.
ADI part 3 tests and standards checks
We’ll email you directly if you have an ADI part 3 test or standards check booked in the next week.
