Rejected petition Petition for Bank Holiday defeating Coronavirus UK and Worldwide.

Petition for Bank Holiday for the day that we as UK and the Worldwide defeat the Coronavirus in remembrance of all lost lives and in honour to all professions that contributed to keep the country going and keeping us all safe.

More details

Firstly I believe is important to remember and honour all the lost souls across the world that this virus is taken and still taking. It’s important to have a day that All can remember as the survival against this virus and show appreciation to all the different professions, many in the background of this battle, that have kept the country safe and going through this difficult time we are facing.Last but not least as a celebration to humankind resilience.
