making the rounds
Going place to place
Making the rounds is visiting a series of places or people in succession.
A doctor makes rounds checking on patients; a security guard makes rounds patrolling an area.
When news or gossip is making the rounds, it's spreading from person to person: That rumor has been making the rounds for weeks.
