Has anyone been through passport application during the pandemic? [View all]

Two family members are seeking to get first-time passports. The information on internet is confusing. Do first-timers need to submit application in person? Are any post offices accepting applications? Some info says no, some says yes, some says no processing going on except life-death, etc. etc.

Any experiences?
