What should I do for summer internship 2020

I am a sophomore at a HK university aiming for IB with PE/AM end goal. Currently I have no summer internship offers. Given the coronavirus pandemic job openings have decreased significantly. What do you suggest I should do to prepare for 2021 recruiting? Should I cold-email boutique IB/PE firms? Thanks in advance!
