Keep COVID 19 testing sites open. Easiest way to track virus and it's variants

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

With COVID 19 on the increase and in order to keep up with how many people are getting infected by this virus the government should keep the test sites open. I would suggest one in each town and two in cities in UK.. I would also suggest that the sites should be run by DHSC to save money.

COVID 19 is not going away. The only sensible solution to this is to keep a track of it. Keeping the sites open provides vital data about COVID spikes that are occurring up and down the country.
The general public will be reluctant to purchase tests due to the financial crisis that citizens of this country are facing. With people not being test the situation in this country could get worse.

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. The local of testing sites is a matter for local authorities and the NHS.
