Should Gas safety tests go ahead?

Our Gas courses are currently on hold due to the outbreak. With the current uncertainty, we are all facing there are concerns put forward by Gas Engineers who are currently on the job. The concern is that the usual Gas Safety checks required in rented homes could cause the spread of the virus and subsequently, they are calling for a pause on all tests for a period of time. Similar to how MOTs have been put on the backburner for 6-months. However, the government has said that this could propose a risk to tenants. This is a confusing time for all of us, who should be working, who is essential, what tasks should be carried out...Hopefully, all of these questions will be resolved and put to bed when the pandemic is under control.
