Test everyone with even mild symptoms for Covid-19/suspected possible Covid-19

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Take action and test everyone with even slight symptoms for Covid-19

Many people have tested positive for Covid-19 and haven’t had any symptoms. Due to the fact we do not know much about this virus it would be beneficial for everyone with any symptoms to be tested even if symptoms are mild.

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. The conduct of tests is a clinical decision for the NHS, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We have published a petition calling for the Government to provide publicly accessible testing for coronavirus around the UK, which you might want to sign: Provide publicly accessible testing for the covid-19 virus around the UK now.
