Create an additional Bank Holiday weekend for the people and to help businesses.
With people staying at home for Good Friday and the Easter Bank Holiday due to Covid-19 lift the spirits of the nation and create an additional Bank Holiday so that people are encouraged to stay at home now but can have something to look forward to later.
For once the restrictions are lifted as a thank you to everyone and something to look forward to. This additional holiday will also help with the economy by encouraging people to re-book holidays and spend money on tourism once the virus is under control.
