What the petition asks

To introduce compulsory testing for covid 19 for every adult in the UK. Tag individuals who a found with covid19 instead of depending on flu and cold symptoms to determine whether someone is infected. Its a rudimentary method we are currently using to determine covid19 victims.

The Government must introduce compulsory testing for covid19 for every adult in the UK and found he/she must be tagged to be tracked. Since the start of this pandemic we have been using rudimentary method by just identifying flu/cold symptoms.

Why it was rejected

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