legislative definitions on what is and isn’t a public space have returned

Adam Wagner does his brilliant work again summarising the new covid emergency regulations on where masks have to be worn.

The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Wearing of Face Coverings) (England) Regulations 2021, passed 29 November 2021

It’s like deja vu again, but about masks rather than simply opening. The spatial ordering of the legislation yet again is fascinating. What is or is not a public space.

But not in pubs, restaurants etc.
No mention of night clubs but that doesn't mean you have to wear a face covering there – the list in Part 1 is exhaustive.
The Part 2 "not" list isn't exhaustive
I don't really know why they need a "not" list as it's confusing pic.twitter.com/hAKZlTkdZy
