Following the announcement by Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Saturday 19th December, The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (All Tiers and Obligations of Undertakings) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2020 have now been published, bringing in the new Tier 4 restrictions. The Regulations came into force at 7:00am this morning (20th December).
The Regulations amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (All Tiers) (England) Regulations 2020 (“the All Tiers Regulations”) to introduce an additional tier of restrictions (“Tier 4”); move all 32 London boroughs and the City of London and some local authority areas in the east and south east of England from Tier 3 to Tier 4; and amends the Christmas period exception to the gathering limits in Tiers 1, 2 and 3. This is to ensure that appropriate levels of intervention are made in the right places to manage Covid-19 outbreaks and help suppress the virus.
