Self employed help during the corona virus outbreak

Both me and my husband are self employed taxi drivers and live in rented accommodation, up until now our school contracts for the council have covered all our household bills, with schools being closed and the council hasn't confirmed if they will pay anything towards the school contracts during the time they are closed, and the public being advised to stay at home, our work has dropped through the floor. We were doing very well until now, with a new business that was started less than a year ago. We don't claim benefits other than child tax credit for our 2 children. With our work effectively impossible to earn anything through this difficult period, what if any help and support can we get?

You say you don't claim any benefits but tax credits are classed as benefits.0

Do you have savings? Do you rent your home?
Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.0
