Reinstate the community coronavirus (Covid 19) testing. Make it available again.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the government to reinstate the (Covid 19) testing back into the community. The testing was stopped by the government without much information only self-isolation. We want for community testing to be resumed and for daily figures to be published.

Without knowing what the infection rates are, the UK public would be left in the dark about how bad the (Covid 19) has scaled up locally or nationally in the UK. Every country is publishing numbers and carrying out tests. We as British people are demanding that the testing is made public and transparency of the localization of the results is made public every day as was previously.
