EL Education recommends only teaching 3 modules this year.  They also have guidance on which portion of lessons can/should be done synchronously vs. asynchronously.  Also, remember to lower the stakes - most teachers I've worked with struggled to complete the lessons designed to take 45-50 minutes in that amount of time, so even in a normal year, pacing is always tough!

This way, you're limited who they are interacting with but still giving them the opportunity to talk.
