The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Business Closure) (England) Regulations 2020 (SI 2020/327) is a statutory instrument (SI) enacted on 21 March 2020 by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Matt Hancock, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It enforced the closure in England of businesses selling food and drink for consumption on the premises, as well as a range of other businesses such as nightclubs and indoor leisure centres where a high risk of infection could be expected.

SI 2020/327 remained in force for five days, until 1pm on 26 March, when it was revoked and its provisions re-enacted with more extensive restrictions by The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) Regulations 2020 (SI 2020/350).[1] SI 2020/350 became the principal delegated English legislation restricting freedom of movement, gatherings, and business closures during the COVID-19 emergency period.
