Well, does it? I only ask because I don't know the type of work/industry you're on. It may change soon but as far as I know, the government & health authorities haven't determined everyone should self-isolate as of now regardless of travel/symptoms. It appears the vast majority of people are now personally deciding to limit exposure, which is the prudent thing to do.
The flip side of the coin though, is if people could find a way to stay home for 18months until a vaccine comes while also requiring readily available heath care, a steady/stable supply of inspected food, clean water, electricity, regular updates on the virus, vaccine research, their garbage picked up and processed out of their sight, safe streets, home heating, working toiliets, internet etc..while also getting EI money, they would. The thing is, those very things depend on the ability of people to work. It would be nice, but not every job can be done from home just yet.
The government/health authorities/pandemic research need to balance the need to control the pandemic (which is dangerous and very real) with the ability to keep society going by having people continue to provide the services they themselves have come to expect (and unfortunately often take it for granted). It's not easy to do, but hopefully people and governments will manage to ride this as best possible until it hopefully becomes more manageable and the spread is contained
