The Patrol will restrict the number of applicants allowed in each facility to ensure that the recommended social distancing measures are followed. All applicants should wear appropriate face coverings while at the facility.
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 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 symptoms related to COVID-19 or another upper respiratory infection.
If you are unsure about whether you meet any of these criteria, please postpone seeking a 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.
