Case managers and counsellors might take a quick health and safety check with jobseekers. Robbin suggested asking if they know how the coronavirus is transmitted, recognize common symptoms and understand what it means to be asymptomatic; if they understand social distancing; and if they have access to face masks. Jobseekers’ answers to these questions should provide a sense of how aware and prepared they are to return to work. Some people may need more in-depth follow-up.
