COVID-19, Apply next year?

The original thought process I had (and shared with my schools’ diversity program contact) was to get more clinical and non-clinical volunteering hours in my gap year (January to July 2021) and get a solid MCAT score on May 21st. Now with COVID-19, the volunteering/shadowing is on hold until further notice and my MCAT is basically pushed back until September. I really don’t want to wait a year due to circumstances that have nothing to do with me/were not within my control because everything... COVID-19, Apply next year?
