What the petition asks
Introduce a national annual holiday in remembrance of all those who have lost their lives to Covid-19 to enable us to celebrate them and remember them as traditional ways of paying our last respects and celebrating life have been prevented.
People are struggling to grieve and come to terms with their loss. There are many who will benefit from coming together in grief and remember loved ones and those who fought to save their lives. There needs to be an annual day of recognition for everyone to pause and heal from the trauma of Covid-19 and its devestating impact on our lifes and our communities
