　　On Containing the Spread of Novel-Coronavirus Pneumonia　　

　　Following directives of the Chinese Government and in consultation with the British Council, we will apply further measures to contain the spread of Novel-Coronavirus pneumonia and safeguard the health of IELTS test takers and test administration staff. The measures are as follows: 　　

　　1. All IELTS tests in Hubei province in February are cancelled with immediate effect. A full test fee will be credited to test takers’ NEEA account, and test takers can apply to transfer the money to their bank account from 31 Jan.

　　2. Test takers who have registered for tests outside of Hubei province can log onto their NEEA account and cancel their test scheduled for 31 January and February. A full refund will be credited to their NEEA account and test takers can apply to transfer the money to their bank account from 31 Jan.

　　3. We will pay close attention to the latest updates of anti-epidemic measures issued by relevant central and local government agencies and the institutions hosting the IELTS test, and adjust our registration and testing arrangements accordingly and in a timely manner.
