I think it depends on the company. I'm graduating soon (in compsci) and I applied to a few places, for some of the companies I got an email saying that due to the pandemic they weren't able to consider my application anymore. I don't mind that much because I already signed a contract with another company recently (before the pandemic), but, I am prepared to lose that job.
A classmate who also signed a contract (with a startup) lost his job.
Something to consider as well is that my classmate and I are "new" to the industry with 0 experience. It makes sense that companies prefer to close junior positions and rather focus on their senior positions.
