Unable to give a source because it’s from an email exchange between the London embassy. 

 

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/suspension-of-routine-visa-services.html

 

This source lead me to believe it’s the same across all embassies, but I’m not sure what counts as routine visa services. News also just came out that they’ll be processing visas for medical professionals since they are in high demand. Just all insinuates that they aren’t processing other visas unless it’s important.
 

Yet... they clearly are.

i’m assuming each embassy is doing what it is able to do according to its own circumstances. 
 

edit: the wording on that page is definitely changing, I’m sure the bit about H2 wasn’t there before either. Maybe it was more relaxed previously and that’s what I’m recalling but I can’t  be sure. I do know different embassies initially were dealing with it differently (some stopped all visa services, some only stopped non immigrant, etc) before the general DoS statement came out. But again..some embassies are clearly still processing routine stuff.

too late to add to that edit.... If you follow the link on H2 visas on that page, the page you land on says:

 

Consular resources and local government restrictions vary widely, and each consular section is continuously reviewing its capacity to adjudicate visa applications during this worldwide pandemic. We encourage applicants to consult with the relevant U.S. embassy or consulate in order to confirm the level of services currently offered.

Update: Till now received no call & through media came to know all embassy officials left for US. Now i am not sure Issued status passports are with embassy to dispatch or we'll be waiting until they come back after the pandemic.

Fingers crossed to the situation.

Right. I think date of 7th April will extend as we see situation. But lets see how does it go all around.
