Resume Covid 19 tests in all those with symptoms

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Resume Covid 19 tests in all those with symptoms.
We need to do this to help understand the mortality rate, assist those who are vulnerable to make informed decisions and, most importantly, to help slow the spread. The longer we can delay this, the more time to fine a cure.
To save lives
