More people to be tested for COVID-19. Relax requirements & more test centres

Petition Details

The requirements for testing for COVID-19 need to be relaxed. More drive-thru centres need to be set up so people don’t have visit hospitals. Allowing potentially infected people into hospitals will allow the disease to spread to vulnerable people.

Additional Information

It is nearly impossible to be tested for COVID-19. You either need to have visited one of the categorised countries recently or have come into contact with someone known to have the disease but you won’t be able to prove that because they can’t get tested either.
