Rejected petition I want free PCR testing for people with family in the EU

I want free covid-19 tests for people visiting family in the EU because I am a UK citizen with 3 children in Italy I can't afford to visit

More details

People with family are not tourists. They do not mass together in discos or crowd seafronts and beaches. We go home and stay there usually

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Testing requirements for visiting overseas are a matter for the country being visited.

We could accept a petition calling for the Government to fund free PCR tests for people returning to the UK after visiting family, if that's what you'd like to see happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
