Tenant w/ COVID needs emergency repairs

I have a tenant who reported a gas leak...gas company came out and pressure tested, says leak is on our side of the meter and up to us to find a plumber to fix it. Catch is, tenant has COVID and is quarantining for another week, now with gas off and no heat / stove / dryer / water heater...and I can't find a plumber who will come do the job due to holiday and/or COVID presence. Any thoughts? Are they just stuck without heat until their quarantine is over? They don't have anywhere else they can go without risking infecting others. Best I can think of is to provide electric space heaters as necessary.

Kicker is THANK GOD their Mom was dropping off groceries and smelled the leak, because the tenant has no sense of smell due to COVID and had no idea.
