Why was this petition rejected?

We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.

We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.

Since you started this petition, the Government has announced the rollout of testing for those without symptoms, with priority to be given to essential workers who cannot work from home.
