Reduce the price of Covid PCR Test for travels to £50

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

The Covid PCR Test for travel is now to expensive, the average is £140, and for a family like mine is not sustainable. I’ve had my first child in November and I couldn’t show him to my parents yet, so we are planning to go in Italy in July, but the PCR Test is to expensive for us.
I want it because I think it’s not fair that a test could cost £140 or more per person. I’m not travelling for leisure but only to see my family after a year and to show them their grandchildren.
