Call your local Chabad, and if they can, they will try to send you a young rabbinic student to give you a private reading, so you can do the mitzvah fully! Happy Purim!!!! Reply

While listening online according to most Halachic opinions does not count, there are other options. In Israel there are volunteers who read from outside homes for people who are quarantined. Contact the Chabad center in your town for information via chabad.org/centers
Purim sameach and stay safe!
