These Regulations only apply to Leicester and require the closure of businesses in Leicester selling food or drink for consumption on the premises, and businesses listed in Part 2 of Schedule 3, to protect against the risks to public health arising from coronavirus, except for limited permitted uses. Restrictions are imposed on businesses other than those listed in Part 3 of Schedule 3, which are permitted to remain open. The Regulations also prohibit anyone staying overnight in a place other than the place where they live without reasonable excuse, and ban certain gatherings. The closures and restrictions last until they are terminated by a direction given by the Secretary of State.
The need for these restrictions must be reviewed by the Secretary of State every 14 days, with the first review taking place by 18th July 2020.
No impact assessment has been prepared for these Regulations.
