The current COVID-19 pandemic is a pressing world crisis and people with
intellectual disabilities (IDs) are vulnerable due to disparity in healthcare
provision and physical and mental health multimorbidity. While most people will
develop mild symptoms upon contracting severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), some will develop serious complications. The aim of
this study is to present guidelines for the care and treatment of people with IDs
during the COVID-19 pandemic for both community teams providing care to people
with IDs and inpatient psychiatric settings. The guidelines cover specific issues
associated with hospital passports, individual COVID-19 care plans, the important
role of families and carers, capacity to make decisions, issues associated with
social distancing, ceiling of care/treatment escalation plans, mental health and
challenging behavior, and caring for someone suspected of contracting or who has
contracted SARS-CoV-2 within community or inpatient psychiatric settings. We have
proposed that the included conditions recommended by Public Health England to
categorize someone as high risk of severe illness due to COVID-19 should also
include mental health and challenging behavior. There are specific issues
associated with providing care to people with IDs and appropriate action must be
taken by care providers to ensure that disparity of healthcare is addressed
during the COVID-19 pandemic. We recognize that our guidance is focused upon
healthcare delivery in England and invite others to augment our guidance for use
in other jurisdictions.
