On 15 May we published details of an additional £600 million Infection Control Fund for Adult Social Care. This funding is to support adult social care providers in England reduce the rate of transmission in and between care homes and to support workforce resilience. Twenty-five percent of it may be used to support domiciliary care providers and support wider workforce resilience to deal with COVID-19 infections.
