Establish "Mobile Cabin Hospitals" for COVID-19 Patients with Minor Symptoms.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We would like the government to establish Mobile Cabin Hospitals for treating patients infected with the COVID-19 virus and showing minor symptoms. Instead of letting these patients go HOME and self-isolate themselves.
The spread of COVID-19 in Wuhan only started to be controlled and then slowed down after the Mobile Cabin Hospitals being introduced as part of the Epidemic Prevention strategy. The idea is to gather all the confirmed cases with minor symptoms, isolate them together with professional care and necessary treatment, instead of letting them go home, pass the disease onto their families and then to more people in their communities. It has been proven to be effective in containing the spread of virus.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Decisions on how to treat patients are clinical ones for which medical professionals are responsible.
