Explanation

The COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act aimed to improve how hate crimes—especially anti-Asian hate crimes linked to the pandemic—were reviewed and reported. It directed the Justice Department to speed up reviews and provided support for clearer public reporting. Its main purpose was not to fund research into the virus or change travel rules.
