Provide publicly accessible testing for antibodies produced by the Covid19 virus

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Allocate funds and effort to the extensive development of publicly accessible testing for antibodies produced by the Covid-19 virus to ascertain the true history of the infection rate.
This will allow members of the public to return to work in the knowledge that they do not represent a risk to the community. This will save pressure on the NHS long term and minimise the impact on the work force.
