Lease expiring end of April with a stay at home order

I have a single family home with tenants and lease is expiring April 30.

The tenants are planning to move out.  I am not sure if they have found a new place yet.

They paid first, last and security, so rent for April is prepaid last year.  I have already advised them March 1 to not pay rent for April by mistake.

Then our state implements a stay at home order till whenever, at least 30 days and essential businesses are shut down.

I doubt they can find a mover now at the end of the month.  They may be stuck at the rental.

How would you handle this situation?

Offer to switch to a M2M for as long as they need until they can move is the only thing I can think of, I certainly cannot let them just stay without a lease.

I would call them and speak with them on the phone. No text. No email.

Go old school.

Let them know you can offer a M2M lease during these uncertain times.

Come across as trying to help them and not yourself.
