Allow symptomatic health professionals the coronavirus test
Allow symptomatic health professionals to have the coronavirus test even if no direct contact. Presently they can only have the test if they returned from a high risk area or had direct contact with a case.
10% of Italian doctors are infected. Testing health professionals who are sick with high fever etc is necessary to protect their patients, colleagues and families and in order to maintain NHS business continuity. These doctors may have been on the tube, at mass gatherings etc. This is a ticking time bomb but the government has a chance to mitigate damage by acting NOW!!!
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:
Testing is a clinical decision for the NHS, not the UK Government or Parliament.
