Question: There any temporary exemptions from mutual obligations

Answer passage (source: Australia):
page_title: Coronavirus (COVID-19) information and support
section_headers: Temporary Exemptions From Mutual Obligations
section_content: On 14 May 2020, the Government announced that mutual obligation requirements
will continue to be suspended until 1 June 2020 as a result of the impact of
COVID-19. This extends the exemptions which were due to end on 22 May, as
announced on 22 April 2020.
This means that during this period no compliance action will be taken for job
seekers who do not report their attendance at appointments or activities,
which means no one's payments will be suspended. The Government will continue
to review these arrangements regularly.
Please visit the Minister for Employment, Skills, Small and Family Business's
webpage for further
Ministerial announcements.
The Government also announced a number of changes to mutual obligation
requirements to reduce or eliminate the need for face-to-face contact, when
requested by a job seeker or job service provider. The changes include:

Job seekers will have the option to request that face to face meetings with their job service providers take place over the phone or via an online channel such as Skype;
Job seekers will be able to complete activities such as online training, creating job plans, writing a CV and preparing job applications online;
Job Plans will be adjusted to a default requirement of four job searches a month (or fewer, at provider discretion) to reflect the softening labour market conditions.
Work for the Dole and other activities delivered in group settings that cannot be delivered online will be suspended until further notice;
Jobs Fairs and other large events will be postponed; and
Job service providers will be required to perform new risk assessments for a range of activities like Youth Jobs PaTH internships.

Current income support recipients who cannot meet mutual obligation
requirements due to isolation should call Services
Australia and can be granted a Major
Personal Crisis exemption, without having to provide evidence such as a
medical certificate.
Students receiving Youth Allowance (student) or other study related payments
who are in Australia but unable to attend studies due to coronavirus would be
taken to have a reasonable excuse for not meeting study activity requirements
for their payments. Individuals in this situation must contact Services
Australia to advise them of the circumstances.

Answer passage (source: Australia):
page_title: Job seekers
section_headers: Mutual obligation requirements
section_content: We’ve suspended mutual obligation requirements for:

JobSeeker Payment
Youth Allowance as a job seeker
Parenting Payment
Special Benefit.

We’ll let you know when they start again.
You can still choose to:

attend phone or online appointments with your provider
do the online activities in your Job Plan.

However, it won’t affect your payment if you don’t do these things.
You still need to report your income every fortnight so we pay you the right amount. Tell us if
you report the wrong income. Tell us also about any changes in your
circumstances. If you don’t, we may pay you too much. This means you’ll have a
debt to pay back.
We may be able to exempt you from your requirements if you’re impacted by
coronavirus. If you’re in isolation at home, we’ll grant you an exemption for
up to 14 days.
For us to do this you need to tell us as soon as possible after you’re
isolated by calling us on your
regular payment line. You need to tell us why you’re isolated, for example, if
any of the following apply:

a doctor or government authority has told you to isolate yourself because of possible exposure to coronavirus
you need to isolate yourself after reading the latest health alerts from the Department of Health.

You don’t need to give us proof to support your exemption. However, if you
need to stay in isolation longer, you’ll need to call
us on your regular payment line
to update us on your circumstances.
If you’re a principal carer you may also be exempt. You may be exempt if
either:

your child’s childcare centre has closed
you’re caring for an adult with a disability or special needs whose day service or supported workplace premises closes.

You’ll need to call us on your
regular payment line to let us know.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
It's hard to tell what the question is asking, but government policy on maintaining health insurance could be one interpretation.
This answer does not address mutual obligations, as it has to do with health insurance.
