Goes place to place
Makes the rounds describes the act of visiting a series of places or people in succession, typically for a specific purpose.
A doctor makes the rounds by checking on patients; a security guard makes the rounds by patrolling different areas.
The phrase also applies to information or stories that spread from person to person: That rumor has been making the rounds for weeks.
When something makes the rounds, it circulates widely through a community or network.
