One of the positive impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on linguistics is the emergence of a new ecolexicon. Ecolexicon, these variations arise because of the depiction of the situation during the pandemic that enriches the Indonesian language. The richness of a language is reflected in the variety of its lexicon. This study aims to explore the variations lexicon on the news of COVID-19 in the Indonesian online mass media as a form of variation in the health ecolexicon. This study uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. The research data is from the COVID-19 ecolexicon in Indonesian online mass media news. The results showed that the richness of the lexicon in reporting on COVID-19 in online mass media is classified into three variations: the primary lexicon, the secondary lexicon, and the euphemistic lexicon. The popular euphemistic lexicon includes abbreviations, loan words, foreign terms, metaphors, and periphrases. The form of the rich variety of the ecolexicon represents the situation in the pandemic, as a guide and even community control in dealing with COVID-19 through the news. This health ecolexicon is also the main feature and marker of a historical event, the history of COVID-19 in Indonesia.
