Rejected petition Early years to have access to Lateral flow test kits if opened during lockdown.

To facilitate COVID-19 testing to Early years and help preserve education by preventing close contacts from needing to self-isolate at home. Early years work force will be able to carry on working if a test is negative.

More details

COVID-19 cases are rising, it is a matter of time until Early Years start seeing a rise of cases. Schools had to close to protect staff, children, families and slow the spread of the virus. Why do early years remain open and do not have access to lateral tests to insure the safety of everyone?
I believe it is paramount to ensure the safety of Early Years settings.
I would like to ask the government to proceed closing all Early Years settings to protect all and slow the spread of the virus.
