The next COVID-19 Day of Reflection will take place on Sunday 14 March 2027.

The COVID-19 Day of Reflection is an opportunity to come together to remember those who lost their lives since the pandemic began and to honour the tireless work and acts of kindness shown during this unprecedented time.

The government affirmed its commitment to the day as part of a broader commemorative programme that was announced in November 2025.  The COVID-19 commemoration programme includes support for the COVID-19 Day of Reflection, working to preserve the National Covid Memorial Wall, a UK-wide fellowship scheme to support future resilience, and creating dedicated online webpages which bring together local COVID-19 memorials, information about COVID-19 Commemoration and stories from the pandemic.
