Amazon Prime is currently still available, however, Business Insider has reported that for US customers, non-essential orders with Prime membership have been given delivery dates a month away, as the company copes with the coronavirus. If you’re concerned about the risk of coming into contact with coronavirus through an Amazon delivery, the World Health Organisation has said the likelihood of an infected person contaminating commercial goods is low. To receive delivery of food from Whole Foods Market, Amazon Fresh or Prime Now, you can also select "unattended delivery" during checkout to ensure you don’t come into any contact with others too.
