This definitely depends. In my state we have a governor moratorium as well as the ridiculous CDC no eviction. You can still serve them, depending on your area file the eviction and send them to collections. The issue is if they give you a partial payment then the eviction filing is moot. That means you would file again if they fall behind. I try to work with my tenants during these difficult times to collect something. To have a tenant pay nothing is terrible and unethical on there part. Work something out if possible. Cash for keys if necessary. Do whatever it takes to get them out or pay within the law.

File the eviction. If tenants are deliberately taking advantage of landlords in this situation I would recommend showing no mercy on the eviction and/or civil suit if you want to go that far.
