Make COVID-19 tests available to all members of households with a positive case

Petition Details

The Government must immediately provide for an entire household to be tested for COVID-19 in the event that anyone living at the property has tested positive. At present, this is only permitted if a person is showing one of the 3 main symptoms.

Additional Information

In most cases COVID-19 tests are only available if one is showing symptoms. This doesn't recognise that many people can be asymptomatic. This is a particular concern for people living in the same house as one who has tested positive, and presents a ‘silent spreading’ risk. My wife recently tested positive & I had no symptoms, but was unable to legitimately secure a test online through the NHS, meaning it was not possible to ascertain if I had been infected. I finally tested positive and had to self-isolate. This should change immediately.
