Thailand’s Epidemic Prevention and Control and Economic Recovery Policies

Abstract

Thailand, which was hit hard by the Covid-19 epidemic, has employed various economic policies in various stages to stabilize and revive its economy. When the epidemic was severe in the early stage, the Thai government, on the one hand, took strict epidemic prevention measures to prevent its spread, and on the other hand, supported people and enterprises affected by the epidemic financially. After the epidemic was effectively controlled, the Thai government emphasized social and economic recovery while continuing to implement epidemic prevention policies. As a result, socio-economic activity and the Thai economy were recovered.
