Petition Make COVID-19 tests during quarantine free or optional
In these difficult times, the few people travelling to the UK are doing so out of necessity. It is currently mandatory to pay £210 for 2 COVID-19 tests during quarantine. These tests should be made free of charge or optional to avoid discrimination.
More details
Mandatory Day 2 and 8 tests during quarantine should be made free for all, or at least for UK residents. We should not have to pay £210 just to return to our domicile. This measure is bound to keep the least fortunate of us away from our homes. If this is not an option despite the small amount of travellers, tests should be made optional, extending the quarantine period. Travelling and quarantining is already enough of a financial burden for those coming home or contributing to the economy.
