What the petition asks
If lateral flow/ antigen Covid tests work why does this government require extortionary priced PCR tests for select (mostly travel) purposes?
If only PCR tests work why does this government require mandatory lateral flow/antigen testing regularly?
Stop mandatory Covid testing.

Stop mandatory Covid testing.
Some people are exempt from regular testing, whilst others are forced to test regularly.
The rules and costs regarding Covid testing to exercise normal freedoms are constantly changing and confusing depending on the individual, who they are with, the circumstances, the location and whether or not you travel on a Tuesday morning(!).
Encourage common sense, teach good hygiene and immediately cease all mandatory Covid testing.
