When and where necessary, citizens to be allowed free testing for Covid-19 virus
If you’ve had any mild symptoms in relation to those symptoms of the Covid-19 virus for more than 7 days, then you should be entitled a free, compulsory Covid-19 test so then you can be absolutely sure whether you are able to look after / visit relatives, get back to work etc.
The aim of this petition is to offer the UK public urgent reassurance that they will be entitled to be tested for the Covid-19 virus, should anyone still show mild symptoms after 7days of “self isolation”, in the safe knowledge that you can be absolutely sure as to whether you are able to look after / visit relatives, get back to work, etc.

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
Since you started your petition the Government has announced that testing for coronavirus (COVID-19) will increase to 25,000 a day: www.gov.uk/government/news/testing-for-coronavirus-covid-19-will-increase-to-25-000-a-day
