Preliminary estimation of temporal and spatiotemporal dynamic measures of COVID-19 transmission in Thailand.

ABSTRACT:

Background

As a new emerging infectious disease pandemic, there is an urgent need to understand the dynamics of COVID-19 in each country to inform planning of emergency measures to contain its spread. It is essential that appropriate disease control activities are planned and implemented in a timely manner.
