What the petition asks
Keep COVID-19 tests free and readily available for everyone.
We believe there is no public health justification for ending the availability of free covid tests during the pandemic.
We believe there is no public health justification for ending the availability of free covid tests during the pandemic.
UK residents and visitors have a right to know if they are infected with covid19 and likely to pass on a potentially deadly virus to others. This ability should not be dependant on ability to pay for tests.
We demand that free covid tests continue to be made readily available at least until the covid-19 pandemic is declared over.
