I would like to request a national monument with all victims of Covid19 honoured

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

So far there have been thousands of deaths due to Covid19. I would like a memorial or similar, possibly a remembrance ceremony when we get back to 'normal'
I had this idea whilst my step father was seriously ill in intensive care. He unfortunately lost his battle. I'm sure there are many people who have also lost loved ones to be remembered.
