According to the new measures, HGV drivers entering England from abroad do not need to complete the passenger locator form, and neither do they need to book or take COVID-19 tests on arrival in England.
A decision was taken by the Government to exempt goods drivers (both #LGV and #HGV) from filling in the passenger locator form before arriving in the UK.
This change took effect at 4.00 this morning.
