Petition Action

Implement covid-19 testing across the country.

Petition Details

Implement a nationwide strategy of testing people with symptoms of the covid-19 virus. Make available and encourage voluntary testing for people with symptoms or concerns.

Additional Information

We have to keep the economy going and balance that with people's lives. Testing people with symptoms helps meet both these goals. If we test people, those around them know whether they should self isolate or could go to work. If we don't test, they have to self isolate so they can't go to work. Equally, some may not isolate when they should. It is critical to understand who has this virus. Please start testing in earnest.
