Petition Action

Better protection for our armed forces and others doing swab testing.

Petition Details

After watching news items on Coronavirus swab testing, I was shocked to see how inadequate the PPE being used by our military personnel carrying out the testing is.

Additional Information

We would like to see this addressed urgently as it appears to be putting these people in great danger of being infected due to their close proximity to people who are symptomatic. Please stop putting these people at risk, if they were on the battlefield, they would be properly protected.
