Are any of your priests, in order to abide by "social distancing," distributing Holy Communion to parishioners in their pews and not at the Communion rail? Does this practice adhere to liturgical law?

Where I live none of the priests are distributing communion to anybody outside of sick calls because all public masses have been cancelled.

Have you heard of this happening? How would the priest do this?

I haven't heard of it, but if the number of people in the church were limited so that only every other pew were used, and the people (or different families) were spaced six feet or so apart, this would actually be a fairly efficient way of administering the sacrament, with the priest walking in the unused pew area. It would also be easy to kneel. I know of no liturgical law against it. Communion is routinely brought to the disabled in a similar fashion.
