We just received the Newsletter from Holy Cross ROCOR Monastery in West Virginia.
Here it is, from the monks themselves:
Monastery Services
to be Livestreamed During Coronavirus Epidemic
Due to the reports we have received of many Orthodox parishes being forced to close the divine services to the public, Archimandrite Seraphim has blessed for the monastery church services to be livestreamed for the duration of this crisis. While viewing the services over the internet is certainly less than ideal, nevertheless it is for now the only way that many of the faithful now have to participate in divine worship. We wish to make our life of prayer for the world, which will continue unabated, available to those confined to their homes or who are otherwise unable to worship in their parish temple during this trying time.
Please feel free to share this news, as well as the schedule and links below, with anyone who might benefit from this ministry.

MOLEBEN IN TIME
OF DEVASTATING EPIDEMIC:
3/18 at 12pm Eastern
On Wednesday, March 17 at 12pm Eastern the whole brotherhood will gather to serve a Moleben in Time of Devastating Epidemic to our patron the Holy Great-Martyr and Healer Panteleimon as well as to St. Nikephoros the Leper. This service will likewise be live-streamed for as many of the faithful to join in prayer as possible.
Since we are not currently receiving pilgrims or visitors, our income from donations and purchases in our gift shop will very likely be reduced. If you are able, please consider donating in order to help us continue our ministry of prayer for the sick, the suffering, and all the world.
