Instagram announced in a tweet that they are banning searches on AR effects related to COVID-19. Per Instagram:

"We will no longer allow people to search for COVID-19 related AR effects on Instagram, unless they were developed in partnership with a recognized health organization. This is part of our ongoing effort to better connect people with credible health information."
This is in response to a sudden rise of coronavirus filters on Instagram stories, which are seen as insensitive given the alarming rise of new cases arising from the pandemic.

    Dear April: I don't want any trouble from you.
    January was long, February was iffy, March was a freaking dumpster fire.
    So sit down, be quiet, and don't touch anything.

    This is very considerate of Instagram, I think every social media needs to do actions to prevent any kinds of spam and misinformation on this serious matter.
