Barbaracase asked Emma Donoghue:

Did you begin Pull of the Stars after corona-19 was identified and had begun to spread? Thanks for answering and thank you for the novel.

Emma Donoghue No, the novel was sold and completely finished by the start of March 2020. All I changed in the copyediting, re: Covid 19, was that I let myself use 'pandemic' rather than 'epidemic' because around then the word changed from jargony to on-everyone's-lips.
