Internships

Hello,

I am aware that lots of people are busy right now with all the college decisions coming out, but I just had a quick question about what juniors should do during their summer going into their senior years.

I was originally planning on contacting some nearby university researchers / research organizations for a summer internship/research opportunity. However, due to coronavirus, a lot of these institutes are closed.

Should I still contact the professors/institutes or is now not be an appropriate time to do so?

Thanks!
