@egoist_E Oh, I see. How about this? "The news is saying that the government established the organization to fight the virus." Or, "The news is saying that the government established the organization to [protect] people from the virus." I don't know why, but "defend" sounds strange. "Protect" sounds natural to me.

It's kind of confusing. "Institution which measures against the virus" doesn't make sense to me. Could you explain what it means?

@egoist_E I rarely hear "institution," actually. I have actually been thinking for 5 minutes and can't even think of an example where I would say it :) Hang on, I will keep trying haha
