For people who need help or wish to help others during corona times at the moment, you are legally allowed to help/get help from other households if you are at risk from things like a physical or mental health perspective.
This could be useful if you or someone else is at risk of harm because of diabetes, mental health issues (eg self-harm, suicide) or some other serious risk to health.
From what I gather [I'm no lawyer though]:
In England, pretty much anyone can visit another household (or have someone from another household visit them) for care if they are at risk of harm. (This is regardless of tier number)
"Exception 4 is that the gathering is reasonably necessary— ... (b) to provide emergency assistance; (c) to enable one or more persons in the gathering to avoid injury or illness or to escape a risk of harm;"
This 'exception 4' of the Tiers legislation can be found here:

In Scotland, exceptions include:
"(iv) providing care or assistance to a vulnerable person, (v) providing emergency or medical assistance, (vi) avoiding injury, illness or escaping a risk of harm,"
This also applies across all 'levels' - legislation can be found here:
