The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is the first
cryogenic experiment searching for neutrinoless double-beta ($0
u\beta\beta$)
decay that has been able to reach the one-ton scale. The detector, located at
the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy, consists of an array of 988
TeO$_2$ crystals arranged in a compact cylindrical structure of 19 towers.
Following the completion of the detector construction in August 2016, CUORE
began its first physics data run in 2017 at a base temperature of about 10 mK.
Following multiple optimization campaigns in 2018, CUORE is currently in stable
operating mode. In 2019, CUORE released its 2\textsuperscript{nd} result of the
search for $0
u\beta\beta$ with a TeO$_2$ exposure of 372.5 kg$\cdot$yr and a
median exclusion sensitivity to a $^{130}$Te $0
u\beta\beta$ decay half-life
of $1.7\cdot 10^{25}$ yr. We find no evidence for $0
u\beta\beta$ decay and
set a 90\% C.I. (credibility interval) Bayesian lower limit of $3.2\cdot
10^{25}$ yr on the $^{130}$Te $0
u\beta\beta$ decay half-life. In this work,
we present the current status of CUORE's search for $0
u\beta\beta$, as well
as review the detector performance. Finally, we give an update of the CUORE
background model and the measurement of the $^{130}$Te two neutrino double-beta
($2
u\beta\beta$) decay half-life.
