section_headers: Protecting yourself and the person you care for
Planning in case of an emergency
section_content: As set out in the guidance for those who provide unpaid care to friends or
family, we advise all carers to create an emergency
plan with the person they care for, to use in circumstances where other people
may need to help deliver care. Depending on the circumstances, this could be
help from family or friends, or a care provider.
In order to create an emergency plan that fits the needs of the person you
care for, you will need to set out:

the name and address and any other contact details of the person you look after
who you and the person you look after would like to be contacted in an emergency
details of any medication the person you look after is taking
details of any ongoing treatment they need
details of any medical appointments they need to keep
details of their preferences and usual routine

You should also ensure that it is in a format that can readily be shared with
other people who will need to discuss the plan with the person you care for.
For more support on contingency planning, see Carers UK

section_headers: General advice
If the person you care for is concerned about their usual paid carer coming in and out of their home and the risk of infection
section_content: The government has issued guidance to home care providers to ensure that
appropriate levels of hygiene are achieved to reduce the risk of infection.
Speak to the care provider about the processes they are following to maintain
good hygiene.
If the person you care for receives regular health or social care from an
organisation, either through your local authority or paid for by themselves, inform their care provider that they
are reducing social contacts and agree on a plan for continuing their care.
As a carer, the Guidance on social distancing for everyone in the UK and
protecting older people and vulnerable
adults provides advice on the extra precautions
you can take to help keep the person you care for safe.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Has information about hygiene and social distancing, but doesn't address making emergency plans.
This does not give a lot of information to answer the question. It just gives basis information on who to talk too but not what to do.
