At this time the US consulate is NOT issuing the "unable to travel due to covid-19" embassy letter so you can get a 30 day extension at the immigration office.

You find your own way to extend your stay OR you find a way back to the US.

If you are hospitalized, you can ask a letter from your doctor and a hospital staff can visit the immigration office with your passport and the letter to apply for an Extension of Stay. It must be done before you run into overstay.
