Provide more comprehensive testing for COVID-19.

What the petition asks
For the government to provide the NHS with the resources to test each person who shows the symptoms of COVID-19, regardless of if they are mild or severe.
It will provide the public clarity on their condition if they are showing the symptoms of COVID-19 and it will also allow the UK infection numbers to be as up to date as possible in line with other countries so the public can be confident in the government's approach to the pandemic as opposed to how it is currently where we feel we are being kept in the dark with where we stand.
