Coronavirus (COVID-19)—what are the arrangements for contacting courts which are now ‘temporarily suspended’ but which were dealing with ongoing and/or urgent applications?

The limitation period for our client’s claim is due to expire shortly but I am concerned that it might not be possible to engage with the other side and/or issue the claim due to potential coronavirus (COVID-19) related issues (for example, relevant individuals being unwell or the court not operating as usual). How can we ensure that our client’s claim is preserved in these circumstances?
