Before there was a January 2020 core update, we had some analysis on that update here. The previous one was a September 2019 core update. This update was a weakness for many SEOs and webmasters, as many stated that it is not as large as previous core updates. Google also released an update in November but was specific to local rankings. You can read more about previous Google updates here.

There are no specific tasks to recover, and in fact, a negative ranking effect may not indicate anything wrong with your pages. However, Google has introduced a list of questions to consider if your site gets hit by a core update. Google said that you can see a slight recovery between core updates but the biggest change you will see is after another core update.
