Whether or not the instruction is due to Covid or not does not change the fact that the works you had engaged your Subcontractor to do are not now to go ahead so you will have no choice but to terminate their contract with you. You need to do that in accordance with your contract with them - and quickly as any costs involved in terminating them needs to be included within your CE quotation with your Client. I would also make a point of letting them know this is the case - as the costs they will incur for termination could even lead them to change their mind in deleting the works in the first place.
