This was in addition to the £3.7 billion in emergency funding previously announced to cover the costs of ongoing care for the remainder of the financial year.

In the directive it states “providers of care should utilise additional funding available to implement infection prevention and control measures in accordance with the conditions of the Infection Control Fund and those given by local authorities.”
