What the petition asks
We'd like the government to update its guidance on Covid testing, and provide regular tests for nursery staff to protect both the staff, the children and their families.
Why it was rejected
The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.
Since you started this petition, the Government has announced the rollout of testing for those without symptoms, with priority to be given to essential workers who cannot work from home.
