ZZZ Center closed due to COVID cleaning.We had come into ZZZ [airport] after ZZZ Center closed. We received a new trip to ZZZ1. I was concerned about duty time; but the director of operations determined that it could be done. Also; upper management; had told us to 'turn and burn' in ZZZ. The director of operations had filed a flight plan on or near land. The clearance we received was far from shore; due to ZZZ Center being closed. Due to concern over running out of duty time and company time pressure; the modified routing was not reviewed until we were established in cruise flight. I have been furloughed for several months recently; so I haven't given any thought to my company's lack of authorization to operate in Class 2 airspace. I have done so in the past in other employment positions in other organizations. I reverted to previous thinking in those positions and made a decision to continue to ZZZ1.We completed the flight uneventfully and landed in ZZZ1 as planned. No ATC concerns were voiced.I believe this is; of course; primarily due to the effects of the COVID pandemic; as so many life issues have been affected by this unprecedented event.However; all parties involved should have slowed down and thought more about all of the factors involved.
Air taxi Captain reported not reviewing a modified route until after being airborne; which was too far off shore; and possibly running out of duty time.  This was due to an ATC Center closing down for COVID-19 cleaning.
