I wouldn't be that dramatic. Sure, there are lots of test centers closed right now, but many have reopened. In my area, about 1/3 are open, mainly technical schools. While the college test centers that many people are used to using are often closed, open centers can be found by opening up the test center locator, picking up the phone, and working down the list. In most metro areas it should still be possible to take exams somewhere right now, albeit often with a longer drive. Those of you in more rural locations may be in a more difficult position.
1/3rd being open means that 2/3rds are closed. Even if that 1/3rd are fully open (I hope, for the sake of social distancing, that this is not the case) that still means that only 1/3rd as many students as usual are able to take a CLEP test. So, even in your area, it's mathematically likely that most students probably cannot take the CLEP exams that they had planned on taking prior to the pandemic. 66% or more is, indeed, most.
