Make Covid tests free for everyone again

What the petition asks
With covid on the rise again, people are not testing as much as before, mainly due to having to pay for them. People are struggling with every day things like food, gas, electricity, and should not have to pay for Covid tests. The Government should make these freely available again.
I feel that if Covid tests were free again, more people would be able to test more often, helping to identify cases earlier and hopefully reduce onwards transmission and overall infection rates.
We need to keep rates down, especially at this time of the year.
