The new rules meant that non-essential retailers, hospitality venues, personal care specialists, accommodation sites such as hotels, entertainment venues such as theatres and sports facilities all had to shut.
A Churchill Square spokeswoman said: "Following the latest government announcement and in line with the new guidelines Churchill Square’s essential stores and services remain open, while a number of additional retailers provide a click and collect and take away services.
"The health of our retailers, centre team and visitors is paramount and we thank our customers for their support, patience and understanding during this challenging time."
