Nope. But I’d let them know your concern and give them a chance to be flexible first. It’s possible the person you’re talking to isn’t the one making the decision, and your pushing back could arm them when talking to the decision maker.
Who the hell is doing this?
Agree with the above. Let them know you’re flexible.
But If there’s an agency not budging and requiring you to go into the office right now for a five day work week, it’s being systemically mismanaged. The potential for a lawsuit is enormous, it shows they don’t have a handle on remote work, their employee well-being, etc.

Ya it’s a BOLD ASS move to be expecting mandatory attendance in the office. We’re still in a global pandemic. It feels a little dictator-y in my opinion unless it’s for production periods, but even then. My agency has had to direct work over zoom multiple times and the result has been good. They made it work. It wasn’t easy but they made it work.
That sounds unreasonable to me. I feel like companies shouldn’t be allowed to start requiring that until there is a vaccine available or sometime towards the end of next year.
Hard pass. It's an indication that they don't care to consider their employees' comfort level with COVID risks, which are still very real and present. They don't care about your health, your potential child care difficulty, and they don't care about you. 🚩🚩🚩
They want you to do what?
Not at all. Health comes first.
If they’re making this request, just imagine what the daily company culture must be like.

Another definitely not unreasonable
Tel them you’re uncomfortable and want to be remote, and if that’s not a possibility then you won’t take it. Put it on them.
