I am counting down to submitting my ILR documentation (I arrived in the UK on 8 July 2015 and plan to submit after 10 June 2020) and was wondering if anyone has received guidance on the progress of their settlement applications submitted during the COVID period.

All of my documents are ready to go...I just need to press that 'SUBMIT' button and wait patiently.

We applied last month. you just have to submit your online application and then register on the UKVCAS site and upload your documents and make an appointment, there are only a limited amount of centers open (from 1st June) that you can book to attend for your biometrics. We are having to wait as we are in the north of Scotland and it is a long way to travel if we have to go to one of the english centers.

We are doing the same here - waiting for a closer center to open before booking the appointment.  I assume (and hope I'm right to do so) that waiting won't cause problems since my application has already been submitted and the fees paid.  The only other difference is we are waiting to have our documents scanned at the appointment (for an additional cost of course).  Waiting makes me a bit uneasy, but it seems to be what is expected for now.

I'm in North London, so I'm guessing there will be centres nearby. However, I did have to trek pretty far for my LITUK test, and that was pre-Corona. There are not that many places that offer it here (at least not for someone without a car).
