entry regulations

The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (Entry to Venues and Events) (England) Regulations 2021 (SI 2021/1416) is a statutory instrument (SI) made on 13 December 2021 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The regulations, which covered England only, were introduced following increasing concerns about the Omicron variant. They mostly came into effect on 15 December 2021 and expired on 26 January 2022.
The regulations applied to nightclubs and some other high-risk venues, as well as to larger venues and events hosting more than 500 people. Organisers were required to bar access to members of the public who could not demonstrate their valid COVID-19 status via the NHS COVID Pass or with official confirmation of a recent test result. A valid status required the holder to be vaccinated with two doses at least 14 days earlier, or to have taken a PCR or lateral flow test within the last 48 hours with negative result.
Under 18s were exempt, as were people attending in order to provide a service or to sell goods, and those who could not be vaccinated for medical reasons.
