- The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (All Tiers) (England) Regulations 2020 (SI 2020/1374) is an English emergency statutory instrument that replaced the second lockdown regulations from 2 December 2020. As initially made, it brought back the three-tier legal framework first introduced by the first COVID-19 tier regulations in England (in effect 14 October – 5 November 2020), but with changes to the restrictions within each tier. The regulations were sometimes referred as the "second tier regulations" or the "all tiers regulations". Exceptions to the restrictions on gatherings were initially to be permitted during the Christmas period, defined as 23–27 December 2020. But following a continued rise in infections in London and the South East, parts of those areas were moved up to the highest level, tier 3, on 17 December (ahead of the formal review date) and on 19 December (the formal review date). On 20 December, a new tier 4 was added with restrictions similar to those of the second lockdown regulations applying to London and those parts of the South East and the East of England that were in tier 3 on the 19th. At the same time the Christmas period was reduced to Christmas Day only for tiers 1 to 3, and was abolished entirely for tier 4. From 6 January 2021, further amendments moved all areas of England to tier 4 in what was described by politicians and the press as a third national lockdown. The regulations were originally stated to expire on 2 February 2021, later changed to 31 March, but in the event were replaced on 29 March by The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (Steps) (England) Regulations 2021.
