What the petition asks
The Government should increase the symptoms that qualify you for a free PCR test which research shows to be prevalent in a significant number of cases of Covid-19 delta variant, including among fully vaccinated people.
Currently around 50% of cases show main symptoms outside of the original three symptoms. This is a significant number of cases not showing the typical picture. This means that unless you have one of the original 3 symptoms you cannot easily get a PCR test.
