Abstract

COVID-19 represents not only a health crisis, but an economic crisis. As COVID-19 has spread across the globe, some countries have successfully combatted the virus more than others. This chapter will compare and contrast three countries in their response to COVID-19: Thailand, Vietnam and Australia. These countries are compared on the following factors: Geology and Climate, Culture, Transportation, Medical Hub, Lockdown & Curfew, 14 Days Quarantine, Social Distancing, Discipline: Wearing a Face Mask. Thailand and Vietnam experienced similar patterns in their COVID-19 responses due to their cultural similarities, pandemic experiences with H1N1 and SARS, along with their reputations and effectiveness as medical hubs played important roles in their economic and stability. Meanwhile, Australia’s effectiveness stemmed from some of the strictest lockdowns in the world and government support programmes in trying to keep the economy strong. Overall, all countries were highly effective and represent examples to follow when trying to prevent future outbreaks or potential second waves.
