You can NEVER know for sure what auditors will expect, as there is tremendous variation of competence, professionalism, intelligence, common sense, etc among auditors. Just because one auditor state/expect something, it does not mean that all others will follow suit.
For the millionth time ISO 9001 is NOT say-what-you-do-do-what-you-say, as your post implies. COVID-19 Pandemic is obviously, something totally unexpected and to believe that a Quality Manual or procedures have to anticipate something that cannot be anticipated is non sensical.
