Closed Make Covid-19 tests for travel optional or free for EU citizens living in the UK

Closed on

The Government should either make the Covid-19 tests for people returning to England optional, or should make them freely available, to EU citizens living in the UK.

Millions of EU citizens are living and working in UK but it seems like the UK Government doesn't think about us. While we are free to move everywhere in UK many can't afford to visit their family in their home country because of the cost of the required PCR tests, which for a family of 4 can be around £1000. We're locked up in UK for more than a year. Christmas and Easter were cancelled. We want to visit our family without these additional costs.
