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.
At least one provider of Covid-19 tests required by the UK Government for international offers saliva testing. It is up to individual test providers what tests to offer.
Decisions about what tests to require incoming travellers to take before arrival are a matter for the countries travellers are going to, not the Government or House of Commons.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
