COVID 19 Symptoms
The main symptoms of COVID 19 as described by the government are (but not exclusively) as follows:
- Having a high temperature. This means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
- A new, continuous cough. This means coughing a lot, (for more than an hour), or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)
- A loss of taste or smell.
Practical Driving Tests and COVID 19
Your driving test will be slightly different currently to help with the protection on the driving examiners. The main differences are:
- No access to the test centre waiting room. You wait at your car and the examiner comes to you
- Examiner will wipe down the car and/or wear a mask and gloves.
- If you have a Serious fault, the examiner will direct you back to the test centre instead of carrying on with the rest of the test.
