My sense is that God has nothing to do with corona virus
Corona virus seems to have originated from the unsanitary and inhumane conditions we have kept and bred our domestic animals and captive exotic wild species.
That is on us. We willfully chose how to manage and treat animals.
The Saint Augustinian view is that God imbued us with the gift of free will, and much of the evil and suffering in the world results from our abuse of free will.
