Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The correct idiom is 'doing the rounds,' which means to circulate or spread from person to person. Viral infections actively 'do the rounds' or 'are doing the rounds' - the continuous form fits the context of infections currently circulating in the city. 'Coming rounds' and 'done rounding' are not standard expressions.
