This seems like a FAKE news.  While the current patent filed in 2020 does have a title including Covid-19, it is based on an earlier patent that DOES NOT mention Covid-19. The earlier priority date document does not use the term Covid-19. The picture is legit but one needs to know how the priority date works to understand it.
