Closed Guarantee timely, locally accessible Covid-19 tests for all symptomatic children

Closed on

The Government should guarantee all children in the UK a coronavirus test, at a local location, if they have developed symptoms, within a reasonable amount of time.

We believe the system as it stands is not working. Many parents can't get tests at all, or the tests are miles away, and they have to undertake a long journey with a poorly child. Children who display symptoms of coronavirus need to be tested - those who don't have coronavirus but have displayed symptoms are missing school for potentially no reason.
