Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

It’s very expensive to pay for tests second and 8 day after returning to UK.Why I have to pay if I stay home for isolation anyway 10 days.
Enough that you need to do the test before the flight .... Cancel the tests on the 2nd and 8th days after arriving from abroad !!! Why should we pay crazy money for the fact that we sit at home for 10 days upon arrival, and while sitting at home to do your idiotic tests, which cost a lot of money !!!! Why should we pay to visit our relatives, our parents ... Our children did not see their grandparents for a whole year because of this shit that happens in the world!!!!
