IF: Due to the COVID-19 containment measures, I went back home to isolate myself with my family, however I continue to pay the rent abroad and retained my employment with the institute abroad. I would like to apply for the IF call, but I am not sure how this time now is counted for the mobility rule.

If the researcher has kept a residence abroad and continues working for the institution abroad, we can consider that the place of residence and the place of main activity are still abroad, even if the researcher had to spend time in the country of the host institution (for coronavirus isolation related reasons) during the 3 years period prior to the call deadline.
