When i was furloughed early last year my bike didn't get touched for 3 months and my battery was dead when I did go to start it, but i have a charger at home so that was no big deal and the battery isn't old so was absolutely fine.
And over Xmas I picked the warmest day (still cold) and gave my calipers a good clean up and regreased the pots, just in case we got shut down again, or we got hit with snow. But as I clean them twice a year anyway they were in really good nick under the road dirt, due to less use last year, but I don't mind doing the job as I find it weirdly satisfying. :lol
Gave the chain a good oiling too, but again, I do that regularly too so that was just habit.
Those are the 3 main things for me to keep on side with if the bike is going to be left standing for a while, especially in winter.
