From my understanding of the government announcements today, you can probably stop flying altogether and the government will pay you to pay your instructors $1500/fortnight to sit at home and study for their next rating.
Plus the requirement to report your health status to CASA if you hold a class 1 and are unfit for more than 7 days. The risk is not worth the reward.
