New rules about marriages and funerals in UK
The Secretary of State makes the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by
sections 45C(1), (3)(c), (4)(b), (4)(d), 45F(2) and 45P of the Public Health (Control of Disease)
Act 1984(a).
These Regulations are made in response to the serious and imminent threat to public health which
is posed by the incidence and spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2) in England.
The Secretary of State considers that the restrictions and requirements imposed by these
Regulations are proportionate to what they seek to achieve, which is a public health response to
that threat.
