Can I remove my IUD myself, it's been 5 years and some weeks already, and I really don't want to go see a doctor because of the Covid situation?

It is not recommended for individuals to remove their own IUD. This procedure should be done by a nurse or doctor to ensure it is removed properly and to check for any potential complications. If you are experiencing any pain, discomfort, fever, unusual vaginal discharge, or irregular bleeding, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for evaluation. There may be risks of infection or other issues if the IUD is not removed correctly. It is best to leave the removal of an IUD to a qualified professional for your own safety. If you are considering getting a new IUD, it can often be done during the same appointment for convenience. Feel free to ask any other questions you may have on the topic.
