Abandon the PCR tests for citizens of EU countries

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Abandon the PCR tests or reduce to only one required and NHS founded PCR test for citizens of EU countries if they are visiting their family in their home country.
Millions of EU citizens living and working in UK but it seems like the British goverment doesn't think about us. While we are free to move everywhere in UK we can't afford to visit our family in our home country because of the cost of the required PCR tests for a family of 4 is roughly £1000. We're locked up in UK for more than a year. Christmas and Easter were cancelled. We want to visit our family same like British people wanted theirs during the lockdown. Do you remember how bad it was?

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Entry requirements for countries outside the UK are a matter for those Governments.
