The United Kingdom entered a period of mourning after Queen Elizabeth II died. This period usually lasts 12 days. King Charles III ordered the mourning period to last until seven days after his mother’s funeral.
There is no federal requirement for the British government to shut down on that day.
Patients will not be able to go to appointments at most British hospitals on Monday due to the government’s austerity measures. Hip and knee replacements and cataract surgeries will need to be rearranged because of the cancellation. There are more than 6 million people on waiting lists for healthcare in England.
The aisles and departments of many stores are closing out of respect for the funeral service of the queen.
