Provide free LFTs to those living with vulnerable relatives

What the petition asks

We want the government to provide free lateral flow tests to families living with vulnerable relatives/people who are immunocompromised. To allow them to continue to go to work/school knowing they aren’t bringing covid home / harming their relatives.
To save lives, and allow the families to continue working/living without the fear of giving covid to their vulnerable loved ones
