Question: How can I bring in more staff to cover for sick and self-isolating staff in settings that are open?

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Actions for early years and childcare providers during the coronavirus outbreak
section_headers: Considerations for settings that are open during this period
How can settings continue to offer care if staff are sick or self-isolating?
section_content: Childcare settings who are experiencing staff shortages should work with their
local authority to identify how appropriate provision can be put in place.
They can pool staff with another setting, or take on qualified and Disclosure
and Barring Service (DBS) checked staff from other educational settings
(including local registered childminders) which have been closed, or invite
local registered childminders to work with them at the setting. Registered
childminders can already do this under the 50/50 registration flexibility they
have.
Settings must obtain criminal records checks for new members of staff,
including volunteers. If an application has been made but the DBS disclosure
has not arrived, new staff and volunteers can still care for children as long
they are supervised by someone who has a DBS check. Under no circumstances can
an unchecked member of staff be left alone with children.

possible.
However, if you have a scheduled hospital or other medical appointment during
this period, talk to your GP or specialist to ensure you continue to receive
the care you need and determine which of these appointments are absolutely
essential.
Your hospital may need to cancel or postpone some clinics and appointments.
You should contact your hospital or clinic to confirm appointments.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer is irrelevant to the question. This answer is about accessing medical assistance during the Covid-19 pandemic and does not provide any information on how settings can hire more staffs to cover for sick and self-isolating staffs.
This provides guidance for people who have doctor appointments and how to stay safe.

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Guidance for those who provide unpaid care to friends or family
section_headers: General advice
Accessing alternative care quickly if you are unable to provide care
section_content: Having to organise alternative care can be difficult and concerning. Where
possible, you should contact friends and family who may be able to give
immediate help in providing care. You should follow the guidelines set out in
the Stay at home
guidance and the Guidance on social distancing for everyone in the UK and
protecting older people and vulnerable
adults to protect those coming into the home of
the person who needs care.
If you cannot organise alternative care you can contact your local
authority or health care
provider.
If you do not know how to do this, you can contact NHS 111.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This does not answer the question. This answer is about organizing alternative care at home for older people and vulnerable adults. It does not provide any information on how settings can bring in more staffs to their establishment to cover for sick staffs and those who are self-isolating.
This offers solutions for carers who need help getting support care when they aren't available.
