Extending current tourist visa

My partner and I arrived in Beijing, China on January 12th with tourist visas.
He is Brazilian National and I am British.
We have been living in our own rented apartment, here in Beijing, since then.

He has a 5 year tourist visa, which requires him to cross the border every 90 days.
So, he originally should have left China on April 12th, but this was automatically extended for 60 days.

Now, he technically needs to cross the border on June 12th... But China is no longer allowing foreigners back into China..

Is it possible that may allow him to not have to leave? Given that he technically has a 5 year tourist visa.
If so, how do we apply for this?

I went to the immigration department today in Suzhou, China. I have a ten year L visa, 60 day stay, multi-entry. My 60 days expired, they gave an automatic extension of 60 days to everyone. After that you have to apply for a 30 day extension which WILL VOID YOUR ORIGINAL VISA. This is directly from an immigration official. I am going to HK tomorrow for a visa run; however, I cannot return to china until they lift the travel ban. The Chinese policy basically forces you to trade your ten year visa for a 30 extension OR forces you to leave China during a time when almost all countries are locked down. Either way, you are hosed.
