Please mark the day social distancing is abolished as a National Bank Holiday.
To mark the date the government can confidently abolish social distancing, government should officially recognise this as a National Bank Holiday.
Reasons for this can be many and very varied. The way the whole country has come together for the NHS, Stay at Home, Protect the NHS, Save Lives, has united the country and communities. Everyone is in this together and shows how society can change and adapt quickly to work towards a common goal, never seen since world war 2. National Unity like this, on a scale never seen before, the key workers and volunteers, finally the lives lost and families/individuals effected need to be recognised.
