Declare an extra Bank Holiday in 2021 to celebrate finally defeating Covid.
Declare an extra Bank Holiday once the vaccine has been rolled out, either during the late August Bank Holiday, or over the Christmas / New Year period.
We've had such an awful 2020, with the deaths of thousands, the mental health toll of Christmas and New Year's Eve in lockdown, and the stress on the NHS and key workers. But we've got the cure now, and we'll finally beat Covid in 2021. We need an occasion to mark this extraordinary national effort in finally beating this terrible Covid-19 disease.
