Rejected petition Stop the travel (day 8+day 5) pcr test for unvaccinated as it is discriminatory

The travel PCR testing on unvaccinated people has no basis in science when both vaccinated/unvaccinated people can transmit covid, it is discriminatory. For natural immunity to be considered when writing policy.

More details

Isolating people who have natural immunity on return, for 10 day after average two week hol has huge effects economically, personally and also on the wider economy (will employers allow a yearly eg 24 day holiday? ) Its not right to punish people for making a choice. It is time to stop this day 2 and 8 test(day 5), companies are charging too much results are not back in time. This testing for travel is not scienced based as vaccination does not stop transmission of covid+variants.
