COVID-19 Pandemic Response: Thailand

The first wave of COVID-19 pandemic hit Thailand last year, and followed by a second wave in December and third wave in April. Many people are worried that Thailand’s recovery will be further delayed. As of May 2021, 85,000 confirmed cases have been reported (0.13%) and about 1.3 million Thais (2%) have been vaccinated.

Give2Asia is partnering with trusted nonprofit organizations to support frontline health workers and institutions responding to the coronavirus pandemic.
