The counter at the top of the page shows the days, hours and minutes left until Medical Workers’ Day and updates every second by your device’s clock. On the day itself it shows “Today”, and from the next day it counts down to the following year. Nothing needs entering: the date follows the rule.
No, Medical Workers’ Day in Russia is not a day off: it is not on the list of public holidays in Article 112 of the Russian Labour Code. If the date falls on a Saturday or Sunday, it is an ordinary weekend, but no day off is moved to Monday. Days off and moved days for the whole year are in the working calendar.
