ANSWER:

The hadith is authentic but coronavirus is not a plague. 

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “There are angels guarding the entrances (or roads) of Medina, neither plague nor Ad-Dajjal will be able to enter it.” ‎ “‏ عَلَى أَنْقَابِ الْمَدِينَةِ مَلاَئِكَةٌ، لاَ يَدْخُلُهَا الطَّاعُونُ وَلاَ الدَّجَّالُ ‏” Is this Hadith Authentic? is it applicable in the current situation and can we open the masjids in Madeenah?
