Hi Daniel,
Thank you for your time on the phone.
To assist your solution being reviewed promptly can you ensure when you or your team
are ready to submit that you
submit your request as a “expedited review”.
Then please select “Time-Sensitive Event” on the expedite request form to ensure
prioritised review since App Store review may take longer.
Please also find this update from developer relations team in regards to COVID-19 with
some guidance.
https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=03142020a
Do you need our Developer Relations team locally to review the current solution in test
flight?
Whilst the local team do not approve the App they are very helpful in giving guidance
design and function before you submit for review.
ACT 1982 (CTH) 
We are here to help in this challenging time, please reach out if you need anything.
