How do I handle partial distribution of my IRA fund during 2020 based on the exemption of RMD in 2020 due to Corona Virus pandemic situation

My investment bank Vanguard stopped the distribution of my IRA fund and therefore I did not meet the Required Minimum Distribution in 2020. How to I avoid penalty for not doing the full RMD?

Answer the RMD questions that "none of this distribution was a RMD" or RMD not required".

No 2020 distribution from a IRA or defined contribution account like a 401(k) was a RMD.
