Renewing F-1 visa during OPT during pandemic

I’ve seen a few posts regarding renewing the F-1 visa during OPT, but none that are very recent. I intend to return to my home country between graduation and starting the OPT to spend some time with my family, but my visa expired in June and I’d have to renew it. I wonder if anyone has been in a similar situation and could give me any advice if the process is risky at all.

Thanks!
