Rejected petition Provide tests for Coronavirus (Covid-19) in the UK

Testing for Covid 19 should be made available to all those who wish to undergo such tests with immediate or soonest effect.

More details

The World Health Organisation has recommended testing, other countries have a programme in place - why haven't we (the UK) ? I personally do not believe we can get a true picture of the spread of the virus without it and the benefits are obvious - people are much more likely to self isolate if they test positive for the virus, thus hopefully limiting the spread.
