How Can a Country Effectively Control the Spread of Coronavirus Disease-2019: a Case Study from Thailand
Journal Title: Public Health Open Access - Year 2020, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
In the last 9 months, an emerging infectious disease caused by a new coronavirus - severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) - has spread from one country to over 213 countries and territories around the world. It has become the most wide-spread pandemic of an emerging communicable disease since the emergence of AIDS 37 years ago, affecting millions infected people and the entire global society. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) epidemic began in December 2019, with the first report on pneumonia of unknown cause in Wuhan City, China [1]. Within a few weeks, the cause of the disease was identified to be a new coronavirus [2]. On 30 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak to be a Public Health Emergency of International Concern and gave the virus a name as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
