f you are not affected by coronavirus and are not required to self-isolate, you will be required to meet the “mutual obligation requirements” to look and apply for jobs, and/or do activities to help you become job-ready.

If you’re isolated at home or caring for someone who needs to self-isolate because of coronavirus you can be granted exemption for 14 days. This means you are exempt from having to look for work, though you still have an obligation to remain ‘job ready’ for when you are no longer isolated.  You may also be exempt from mutual obligation requirements in the event that that illness or injury prevents you from working temporarily. This exemption is temporary and you must meet certain criteria that are supported by medical evidence.
