Narrative:

ZZZ center was closed due to covid decontamination on a midnight shift. We were here to work the airspace during the closure. Our airspace is delegated 10;000 feet and below.I received two flight plans for the two aircraft en-route from ZZZ1 approach. The assigned altitudes were both 10;000 feet. When the targets appeared on my scope; they were at 12;000 feet. I called ZZZ2 approach and coordinated 12;000 feet so the aircraft would not have to descend back down. They approved the coordination. I then called ZZZ1 and told them to leave the aircraft at 12;000 feet; but in the system at 10;000 feet so the flight plan would stay in my airspace.the communication was not entirely clear that the airspace was closed prior to working the abnormal midnight shift.
