Keeping rental contract when I can’t get to the apartment

Question:

My contract tells me that I need to notify my owner 3 months before moving. However, now due to the whole coronas virus preventing people from coming back to Eretz Yisroel, I would like to terminate the contract now instead of going back until elul as originally planned. Do I have the right to do this without giving him the proper amount of time?
