Why this petition matters

Started by Stefan Lockett

Clearly the pandemic of COVID-19 is getting worse as the NHS prepare for what Boris Johnson describes as the "Fast part of the upward curve". 

Considering this all front line NHS staff should be tested for COVID-19 to eliminate staff shortages and also to protect the workers who are doing their best to keep the UKs inhabitants healthy. And also to stop the spread from NHS staff to vulnerable patients on wards in hospitals. 

And for anybody who works in Care Homes, or in the community with the elderly or vulnerable groups should also have testing readily available should they show any symptoms.

After warnings from Italy and now many other nations, the UK's plan has so far seemingly to talk a lot and do very little. Lets protect the people who are here to help us all and the elderly! 

Please sign and share as much as possible, and let's hope common sense prevails here! 

Thank you
