If Covid-19 came from God, who would He be punishing?
Sinning Jews and sinning gentiles.
Who would be the sinning Jews?
Anyone guilty of the 36 capital offences of the Old Testament.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_capital_crimes_in_the_Torah
So Jews guilty of these capital offences would be sentenced to death? Seems a bit harsh.
If Jewish standards of behaviour are too high for these errant Jews, they could convert to Islam and/or support Secular Koranism.

What about Christianity?
That is not from God, but some guys called Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul etc.
So they would have to support Secular Koranism to escape the death penalty?
Yes. There is no other divine revelation for gentiles from the Abrahamic God who divided humanity into Jews and gentiles having first revealed the Torah to Jews and then the Koran to gentiles. The Koran guarantees freedom of belief with quran.com/2/256 so it would be unIslamic to forcibly convert anyone to Islam.
So they can support Secular Koranism as Jews and not have to convert to Islam?
That is exactly the idea.
Do Muslims support Secular Koranism?
Most of them haven't heard of it.
Why should Jews support Secular Koranism if Muslims do not?
Because I anticipate Muslims would call my new school of sharia of Secular Koranism illegitimate, since I am agnostic and not Muslim.
If you are agnostic, why you are you asking questions as if you thought God exists?
Because I can imagine what someone who believes in God would believe and fear if He thought Covd-19 was divine punishment.
Does the Koran provide a solution to the pandemic?
Yes, the process of consultation called shura.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shura
How would shura/consultation solve the problem of lockdown?
The government would consult business organisations and trade unions about whether to lift lockdown, businesses and trade unions would consult their members, members would vote on it, and if both employers and employees agree to lift lockdown, it would be lifted. Can't say fairer than that, can you?
