I think it was around April 22nd. 

Hi, I attended the post-bacc at CSULA, so I can only really speak to their program. I would say it's somewhat competitive, but certainly not as much so as the grad program. They can only accept a certain number of students into the post-bacc since the classes are usually held in-person and you are sharing spots in classes with the undergraduate students as well. I am not sure how covid-19 will affect future post-bacc cohorts. The application was just your transcripts and a personal statement about why you wanted to pursue speech pathology. 
I would encourage you to try not to stress too much about this. As others have mentioned, there are many options to complete your post-bacc coursework including lots of great online programs. The road to completing your prereqs and applying to grad school is a long one and working to manage your stress will really benefit you in the long run.  Focus on breaking down what's stressing you out into the things you can control and things you can't control, and then you can work on those things that are actionable.

I'm very curious about this topic as well. When I accepted my spot at SDSU I asked  how covid would affect the fall and was told that they are expecting to have fall semester as normal, but that as things change they would be in touch with us. Of course this situation is very fluid so I imagine that all programs are hoping to be able to have fall semester in-person, but that the decision will be made at the level of the university rather than the department. They will probably have to wait and see what orders come down from the state, and then whether the university is able/allowed to reopen (for CSUs I imagine this will be a system-wide decision). 
I do still plan to move in August, though, since my lease is up in LA at the end of July anyway and I'm holding out hope for in-person classes
