Calls for a bank holiday if England the Euro cup on Sunday seem short sighted. A bank holiday for who? Hospitals need to remaiin open, so staff can't 'just' take a day off, schools need to remain open so people who work in Hospitals in this case can work, while their kids are at school.

Schools also need to Teach a curriculum, even near the end of term there is work to be finished off for example.

Another thing about schools is they are or should be a safe place, given the reports of domestic violence incidents increasing during football competitions, and drinking also increaes it could put kids at risk of harm.

School holiday dates are known so holiday clubs are open during school holidays.

Not JUST hospitals but Police, council services and a whole host of places need to carry on.
