Rejected petition A bank holiday created on the date of the last patient discharge from COVID-19

I would like an additional Bank Holiday created to mark the end of the coronavirus pandemic in the UK.

More details

As a mark of respect for those who have fallen and those who drove us through the crisis.
This should be our National Health Service day and the day reserved where we undertake various activities to raise money for NHS charities and honour all those who have worked and continue to work to protect us.
