Petition Action

Reinstate full testing for early-stage coronavirus COVID-19.

Petition Details

WHO has been very clear about testing for coronavirus: that it should be done as early as possible. But the UK government has changed the testing regime to late-stage only. This should be reversed to be in line with the WHO recommendation.

Additional Information

Early-stage testing will offer transparency of case numbers, will allow communities to understand if there is coronavirus among them and, most importantly, allow individuals to know whether, at an early stage, they are infected.
