Make Coronavirus testing kits available to the public by post.
The government needs to make mass testing possible in order to track and isolate the spread of the disease. Create a mailable kit that can be self-administered and either posted back or dropped off in a large bin (like a bottle bank) which is emptied daily.
If we don't know if we have it - we can't self isolate. Any of us could have it right now and be walking around infecting our families, friends and co-workers. But if we had a way of self-testing new could isolate ourselves
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The conduct of tests is a clinical decision for the NHS, not the UK Government or Parliament.
You could start a petition calling for the Government to provide additional resources to increase their testing capacity, if that's something you'd like to see happen.
