More specifically, we have studied the impact of COVID-19 on the economy of Thailand and the ASEAN community as well as on the global economy as a whole. In this research we analyze the early stage of this virus spreading in the region on the basis of statistical data obtained from the respected information databases. The Covid-19 pandemic is a stark reminder of the ongoing challenge of emerging and reemerging infectious pathogens. It calls for constant surveillance, prompt diagnostics, and robust research to understand the biology of new organisms and our susceptibilities to them. As practice shows, it takes months and even years until we fully grasp the whole picture of the disease and the global damages it has caused. ER -
