What the petition asks

test in the community for coronavirus.

Every contry in the world that has had outbreaks of coronavirus had kept up testing in order to keep check on how quickly it is spreading and to see if the actions they are taking are having an impact to slow or stop the virus, We as a country also need to know how many true cases we have and if any of the actions that we are taking is having any impact in slowing or stopping the spread, more tests means less deaths.

Why it was rejected

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