Virus removal on iphone

What should I do when my phone picked up a virus (126 virusses) accidentally via a insecure website? I have restarted my phone multiple times, cleared safari, deleted calendar app as this is where the virus seemed to be and I reset my settings. Not sure what to do... it reminds me every 30 mins that my iPhone is severely damaged and needs to be protected

iPhone 7, iOS 14

Your iPhone does not have any virus. It is just a rogue calendar that got added to your device while you were on the internet and accepted the add request mistakenly. All those events in that calendar is just spam.
