Fund free Covid tests for carers, NHS staff and their families after travelling

Petition Details

Care Workers and NHS staff have supported the nation to stay safe.

Many European carers cannot afford hundreds of GBP to pay for testing.

They united the nation with their loved ones, let us help the carers by scrapping test costs for them and their children.

Additional Information

There is an inequality here, which is discrimating against European Care and NHS staff. In reality, a care worker with 2 children would pay at least £900 just for Covid testing when visiting their family in Europe. This is a lot of money,considering many care workers make £8.72 /8.91 per hour. This does not include financial loss due to quarantine or travel expenses.
It is vital for people's mental health to see their loved ones in person.
