Give specific priority for Coronavirus testing
Give priority for Coronavirus Testing to NHS staff, Emergency Services and First Responders
The country is in the grip of a potentially fatal virus and needs our NHS, Emergency Services and First Responders to be able to help. We are in a situation where many highly trained health professionals and emergency services workers are having symptoms that may or may not be due to Coronavirus. By giving them priority for testing, it would allow many of them to come back to work sooner and protect them in the future as they'd know whether they had had Coronavirus and had therefore build up antibodies
