Keyboard and trackpad all of a sudden stopped working.

Hi all, needing urgent help. My MacBook Air retina 2019 built in keyboard and mouse stopped working and have reset SMC, tried in safe mode and p & r reset. I haven’t had anything to cause. I left in sleep mode and opened the lid to access and did not work.
