The mountain is quiet, no earthquakes right now, nor any in Katla.
There have been many small earthquakes around Iceland, some in worrying places, but no consistent pattern.
The eruption could resume again, the 1821-3 eruption had interim pauses, or the montain could sleep for a few centuries now.
Next question is whether Katla will erupt as it has before, or possibly other sites long this fissure system; Katla is bad, but not the worst.
Of course correlation is not causation, and past results are no predictor of future results...
