After Core Update hit, remove Covid references or not?

Hi all,

I have an online catalogue in the promotional products niche. We added to the products we sell face masks, and many other protection items and we created new Covid related categories to place the new protection products.

As many other, we have been hit by May's Core Update and I wonder if mixing promotional products and Covid related products (new products and categories have Covid related texts for semantic relevance) might have helped to "decrease" my EAT.

Thank you for you help.

mabey, You can delete related words

I decided to remove all content related to this virus from my sites, still waiting to see if it has any effect.

I think that I'm going to do the same and wait to see what happens.

These keywords aren't going to bring me notable traffic, and maybe the can hurt EAT as you both say.

Thank you.
