Both can be correct. There are a few nouns that can be taken as singular or plural depending on the way the speaker/writer is thinking about them.
'government' is another example
1. The government is determined to fight covid 19. - thinking of govt. as singular
2. The government are undecided about how to fight covid. - thinking of govt as plural, that is lots of people who do not agree
I hope this helps,
