Probably in some countries yes, more Bitcoin users are using it right now for payments (if the merchant is accepting it).

Here in my country, I didn't felt that Bitcoin usage has increased since the pandemic. I'd say that online transactions had increased massively because of the fact that the physical cash can be a carrier of virus but base on my experience, I saw many people here using e-cash rather than using Bitcoin.
Based on my observation, the prevalence of bitcoin as a mode of payment in my country is very low, we have delivery services app and they are adapting on how to make a contactless transaction even with physical money as a mode of money, cash apps are the most prevalent because more people know what to do with it and it is also in our country's currency.
