The Department for Transport has issued new COVID-19 testing guidance for hauliers arriving in England and travelling from the UK.

Hauliers must take a COVID-19 test if they are staying in the country for more than two days, plus a further test every three days after that if they are still in England, unless drivers are either:

The rules apply to drivers and crews of HGVs and drivers of vans and other light goods vehicles and applies to both UK-based and non-UK hauliers.

Hauliers without proof of a negative COVID-19 test are being warned they could be fined up to £2,000.

Further information is available on the Government website.
