These Regulations amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (Leicester) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/685) (“the principal Regulations”). The amendments permit the opening of retail businesses and certain outdoor attractions in the “protected area” in Leicester. The “protected area” is defined in the principal Regulations, as amended by the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (Leicester) (Amendment) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/754).

These Regulations also make amendments to the principal Regulations consequential on the revocation of provisions of the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/350), removing and replacing references to those Regulations.

These Regulations also correct a number of errors in the principal Regulations.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been prepared for these Regulations.
