COVID-19 local lockdown regulations in England

During the COVID-19 pandemic, a variety of lockdown regulations were enforced in England by way of statutory instrument. Most covered the whole country, but some focused on local areas of particular concern. Leicester was the first area to be subject to local restrictions, on 4 July 2020, and many other regions were added over the subsequent three months.

On 14 October 2020, all of the statutory instruments discussed below were revoked and replaced with a set of three new regulations implementing a national system of three tiers of restrictions across England.
