We know social care will be at the frontline of our response to COVID-19, with social care providers looking after many of the most vulnerable in society.

Social care guidance is being worked on urgently and is due to be published in due course.

Officials are working with the local government associations, Public Health England and NHS England on continuity planning, to support social care providers.
