It was originally an emoji for when you're sick, but now it's used in various ways. In Korea, it's also used to mean you're wearing a mask for protection on days with heavy fine dust or yellow dust.
After the COVID-19 pandemic, this emoji's meaning expanded globally. Beyond just being sick, it can represent public etiquette, or a passive attitude of not wanting to talk or wanting to hide oneself.
