Petition Action

Allow schools to take Covid tests to increase capacity and turnaround times

Petition Details

Now that schools are back and with children having common colds more so it’s important that schools can help take tests as we go into winter due to how hard it is to take a test. They should be able to give the give tests when they believe their are Covid cases

Additional Information

It’s near impossible to get tests and this will help genuine thought of cases to happen so that kids can get back to school quicker. There are capacity issues around the UK and this will only get worse in winter. Delaying even a few days of school for kids is harmful and the government should be looking at better ways to improve upon on what they are currently doing.
