Rejected petition Reduce the cost of international arrivals Quarantine/Testing as it too expensive

Please reduce the cost for international arrivals quarantine/ testing as it is way too high for most people and a majority of the people who had left the country during lockdown left because they couldn’t afford the rent.

More details

The costs are way too high and beyond the actual cost of the hotel rooms / coronavirus test kits .this will lead to diminishing mental health and stress among people returning to the UK.please reduce the costs or abolish the quarantine scheme.Instead,make it compulsory for arriving people to take a test on arrival and quarantine them only if they are found positive
