These Regulations amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Wearing of Face Coverings in a Relevant Place) (England) Regulations 2020 to add further relevant places where members of the public are required to wear face coverings. It also removes some existing exemptions from the definition of “shop” such that premises that were exempt are now included in the definition of relevant place. This has the effect of requiring members of the public to wear face coverings in wider range of places than previously provided for in England to protect against the risks to public health arising from coronavirus, except in certain limited cases.
These Regulations also make two minor typographical corrections and move a definition to the main definition provision.
No regulatory impact assessment has been prepared for these Regulations.
