The last time Marvel and DC put out a comic addressing a major real world issue as it happened it became a meme. People to this day gripe about the 9/11 special or post that panel of Doctor Doom crying. I don't think we can trust the Big Two to handle this subject, and I don't think they want to.

And anyway, there are some amazing writers, artists, and editors working at both companies, none of whom are in charge of big decisions like "should our comics reflect the current situation vis a vis covid".

I don't even remember if DC even did anything in-universe regarding 9/11. Like it makes zero sense in either setting. I'm sure there's writers who could do it, but it'd be in a way that's entirely removed from canon essentially and not unlike those weird cross-promotional brand ones.
