Probably not the right term and in fact, there's really no such thing, that said, there are only two options where you are not stood down unaffected. LWOP and Redundancy and which way to go is dependant on how long this will last and age, type, classification, base.
No change in the next 6 months
50% chance of eradication within the country in the next 12 months
High chance of eradication in the next 2 years.
International Borders remain closed for at least 2 years.
If you use this forecast then there's a chance of being recalled early and going back to work. If you're made redundant then you'll be in the last group in any case, when there's a shortage without any certainty of being re-employed at all.
Unless I was over 55 I would do nothing, roll the dice and let it be.
The over 55's have a bit more to consider.
