21m+ are unable to celebrate Christmas because of new C-19 restrictions. Many are restricted to the statutory minimum for holidays plus bank holidays. As the holidays for Christmas & NYE will be wasted in 2020 defer them to summer 2021 when people can enjoy that time with their families.
Dedicate 3 working days to allow for a long weekend in the summer when families and friends can meet (outside if necessary) when the number of virus cases are in decline. So many people rely on bank holidays l, for which they’re paid, to take a decent break from work and to enjoy time with family and friends. For many that has been lost this Christmas season.
