This Archived Practice Note outlines the general base-line coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions, including the modified regional tiered restrictions and the national restrictions in force in England until 19 July 2020, that applied to business premises, including premises licensed for the sale of food and drink, alcohol or entertainment until all formal restrictions were lifted. The government recommends continuing caution but formal restrictions have been removed with the warning that they may need to be reintroduced if health circumstances require it.

The government measures to help prevent the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) have changed significantly during the course of the pandemic from the national lockdown to taking more nuanced action in areas of increased transmission, so keeping track can be difficult for practitioners and their clients. This Practice Note aims to provide a reference point for the current restrictions in force in England. For the national restrictions during the initial response to the pandemic, see Archived Practice Note: Impact of coronavirus (COVID-19) on Licensing [Archived].
