What the petition asks
Make it easier to be tested for coronavirus
If you suspect you have coronavirus like myself I called 111 spoke to doctors they said there was no testing unless seriously I’ll in hospital etc and I am worried if I have it like many others and not being tested for it! If it is the case and I’m positive for covid 19 then I can then share the news to anyone I have been in contact with for them to definitely self isolate also as if you only assume you may have it it’s getting you no where as after 14 I may clear up come out of self isolation and then catch it then as for many others we are left in the dark!!!
