No, the post on their site says the trail is open, and permits are still
valid. They just urge everyone to cancel, so as to avoid spreading the
disease from town to town down the trail. The issue is going from town
to town, not hiking itself.
Maybe it would be a good time for yoyoing a small section, with no
resupplies. That would basically just amount to serious, hardcore
social distancing. Most people are supposed to keep 6 feet of distance
from another person... a hiker can one-up that to 6 miles, no problem.
