Social Distancing: Is Student Pilot SIM training with a CFI still possible currently?

Is Student Pilot Sim training with instructor supervision still going on?

So with the current corona virus shut down, are  CFI's able to continue to offer  dual instruction to students in larger full motion SIMS.

Social distancing and 6 feet and all seems ??? maybe do able in a larger RedBird FMX like the one in the link. That's what is available at my flight school. What's happening at your school regarding Sim dual instruction guidelines ?

    “Is it possible” depends on where you live, and what the laws are there. In the United States, each state has instituted its own version of “social distancing” and “shelter in place” laws. And many cities have done so as well. So there isn’t one answer. In some states, flight training (and sim training) is going on almost like nothing has happened. In other states, schools are shut down and out of business. And everywhere in between. So it really depends on the laws in your jurisdiction.
