The IRS confirmed the payroll tax deadline of April 30, 2020 remains unchanged even as the IRS moved the income tax deadline from April 15, 2020 to July 15, 2020. However, the IRS automatically provides a 10-day grace period if all the deposit payments were made on time.

Payroll reports go to a different type of service center...Id make sure you get a postmark on it, even if it ends up getting returned to you.

Are electronic form 941 returns also due on April 30?

I have to go to my client's office to send, and I do not want to meet face to face until the virus is contained.

No, IRS is not saying that.  They are saying that they are not processing paper returns until their Service Centers reopen (which will probably be sooner than healthy).  And 941's are processed in the same places as 1040's.  If a payment is sent with them, they got to a private bank "lockbox" first.   I haven't see any reports of whether those are still in operation, or how they manage to process paperwork (like, millions of credit card and mortgage payments) when IRS can't.
