Rejected petition Every UK citizen should have the right to receive a COVID-19 Test

The government currently denies anyone who
Is not admitted to hospital any form of testing for the COVID-19 virus.

There are several issues with this. Necessary/unnecessary isolation. For evidence for financial loss/support. For scientific and theoretical evidence for possible future pandemics.

More details

The UK gov have taken a radical approach compared to other countries in tackling the COVID-19 pandemic. Unless you are admitted to hospital you will be denied a test. This means There is no Proof that you had the virus and would probably not be entitled to support with financial loss. Scientific Proof that their radical theory of herd immunity worked is important. The data we have is currently flawed. To do this they need to track all cases. This is also important for potential future pandemics
