Last Friday I wrote an email to NationalityCaseworkDecisionService@homeoffice.gov.uk and received this answer 25 minutes (!!!!) later:
Your application was granted 1st May 2020.
There is a delay on sending ceremony invites out at present, as local authorities holding ceremonies have only just begun to reopen.
You should receive an invite through the post shortly, but please be patient, during covid19 measures our resources have been limited and there is a period of catching up whilst we work with local authorities to restart ceremonies once again.

And yesterday (5 days later) I received the official decision letter. Good luck to everyone who is still waiting!
