They are not closed, but most employees are working from home. I was there 2 weeks ago, and it is open. You should go there.
I believe that it is not close but they limit the appointments. I made an appointment for new card on Octomber and got a date on mid November. I went there and submitted the documents in-person. However, it is not easy to contact them via phone. You have to keep calling them.
