Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
Request parliament to fund the construction and upkeep of a permanent and prominent national memorial to the memory of those lost, listed by name, age and the frontline role undertaken if applicable, to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Those lost to this pandemic should be remembered. They are someone mum, dad, brother, sister, friends or colleague. For those affected, after Covid-19 nothing will be the same. A national memorial would provide a focus for their grief and the grief of a nation.
