Prioritise antibody testing in schools before they reopen.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The government's decision to start opening schools is premature, reckless and a disgrace. They have not met the 5 tests they said needed to be met before they would start easing the lockdown.

If they want to start opening schools, they must also prioritise antibody testing of pupils and staff (even more so with this new inflammatory disease in children linked to Covid-19) before they reopen.
