Question

Another rolling wave of coronavirus is going to sweep over us.

I don't know that the adjective "rolling" adds much of value, so I don't see it as needed or useful. What would a not-rolling wave look like compared to a rolling one? I have no idea, myself. Waves roll, it is what they do.

The sentence as written is grammatically functional.

? · Answer

Grammatically, yes. Factually not so much. Get people to get vaccinated. Then there won't be a wave.

"sweep us over" would be proper

It is fine although rolling sounds a bit superfluous as you then say it is sweeping.
Another wave of coronavirus is going to sweep over us.
