The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic outbreak is drastically shaping and reshaping many aspects of our life, with a huge impact on our social life. In this era of lockdown policies in most of the major cities around the world, we see a huge increase in people and professionals’ engagement in social media. Online Social Networks are playing an important role in news propagation as well as keeping people in contact. At the same time, social media is both a blessing and a curse as the coronavirus infodemic has become a major concern, and is already a topic that needs special attention and further research. In this study, we publish a multilingual coronavirus (COVID-19) Instagram dataset that we have continuously collected during the first wave of the pandemic from 5 January 2020 to 30 May 2020.
