Are biometrics no longer required due to COVID-19?

So I finished my online application about a month ago, literally a couple days after I submitted everything the lockdown happened and all centres etc started closing down. I just checked the online application page and it says somehting like "your application will not be affected by centres closing". So I'm wondering, now that I paid the £1,300 fee, and I can't submit the biometrics, what's exactly going on with my application? How can it not be affected if I can't submit the biometrics? Is my application already being considered, because I don't see how they can if they don't even have the documents like my passport, referee forms etc? (I can't scan these myself, I was going to do it at the biometrics appointment)
