The Patrol is monitoring the status of the COVID-19 pandemic and will update the public as soon as additional testing services have been reinstated. The Patrol requests that members of the public refrain from taking a CDL written examination if:

· you, a member of your household, a family member, or other personal acquaintance have been diagnosed with COVID-19 (and are not medically cleared);

· you have had contact with any person diagnosed, or suspected of having, COVID-19;

· a medical professional, hospital staff, or other health agency representative has asked you to self-quarantine; or

· you have an unexplained fever, cough, shortness of breath, or other symptom related to COVID-19 or another upper respiratory infection.

If you are unsure about whether you meet any of these criteria, please postpone seeking written CDL examination(s) and return at a later date.

This request is based on the recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that are designed to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
