Petition Action

Bring back COVID-19 testing for everyone who has symptoms in the UK

Petition Details

Test everyone in the UK who shows signs of the COVID-19 virus, rather than just telling people to isolate.
We need to have clear figures, statistics and records to show the spread and risk of this virus

Additional Information

If we don’t test people who have symptoms, we have no idea whether they have the virus or not.

This petition was rejected

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.

We have published a petition calling for the Government to provide publicly accessible testing for coronavirus around the UK, which you might want to sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/301354
