(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations revoke and replace the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (Blackburn with Darwen and Luton) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/800).

These Regulations require the closure of businesses listed in the Schedule in Blackburn with Darwen and Bradford, to protect against the risks to public health arising from coronavirus, except for limited permitted uses. They also impose restrictions on gatherings both inside and outside, of more than 30 people. The closures and restrictions last until they are terminated by a direction given by the Secretary of State.

The need for the restrictions in these Regulations must be reviewed by the Secretary of State every 14 days, with the first review taking place by 15th August 2020.

No impact assessment has been prepared for these Regulations.
