In Threads did Ruth ever take a vacation from work post attack?

Vacationing is suicide as to eat you need to work, no matter your condition (though you might be given 500 calories though that’s assuming there is enough food for non workers for the authorities to give) but during the blizzard shown during the first winter did all the workers get a day off due to prevent exposure from hypothermia. Walking in the park was still possible as the film shows parks being repurposed for government purposes though no one would be cleaning them if they weren’t used.
