Rejected petition Please provide free/ inexpensive covid testing for people traveling into the UK

Testing for covid is a must. However the testing regime required is exorbitantly expensive.
We need the government to make testing more affordable. Currently testing requirements are anywhere between £100 to £200 when the tests are available for much less in the market place.

More details

The testing regime required to enter the UK is simply to expensive. Supernormal profits are being made which a) prevent people from seeing their loved ones in other countries
b) is stopping people from going on holiday
c) is detrimental to the travel industry
