Fast track deployment of covid 19 antibody tests to the public.
Mass roll out the covid 19 antibody test kit.
At the moment the not knowing if you've had covid 19 is causing problems. Once people have been confirmed as having had the virus they are immune and a much lower risk. Since the uk government has chosen to stop all testing this is the next logical phase. Companies are ready to produce 500,000 per week but aren't being approached to do so. Confirming immunity will allow people to come out of isolation and get the country moving again.
