Abstract :
This is a survey study. The study's aim was to
explore the incidence of COVID-19 along the ThaiCambodian border (Sa Kaeo Province). The study relies
on secondary research-related data on institutions linked
with the Ministry of Public Health. The study was
conducted within Thailand's Sa Kaeo Province. The study
relied on data on the number of COVID-19 patients and
the epidemic situation in all districts of Sa Kaeo Province
throughout five waves. The data in this study was
examined using frequency, percentage, mean, and
standard deviation, as well as a Geographic Information
System (GIS) program.
The studies indicated that Sa Kaeo province is at
high risk of contracting COVID-19. More than 1,000
cases have been recorded in Watthana Nakhon and Khok
Sung districts. The districts of Muang Sa Kaeo, Khao
Chakan, and Aranyaprathet were next, with 501-1,000
cases. The districts of Wang Nam Yen, Wang Somboon,
Khlong Hat, and Ta Phraya had the fewest occurrences
(less than 500). The people who are more probably to
contract COVID-19. More than 1,000 cases were reported
in Wang Nam Yen, WatthanaNakhon, and
Aranyaprathet districts (1,832 cases, 1,415 cases, and
1,042 cases, respectively). MuangSaKaeo, KhaoChakan,
Khlong Hat, Khok Sung, and Ta Phraya districts were
next, with 501-1,000 cases. While the Wang Somboon
district had the lowest number of incidents (less than
500). COVID-19 patients were being isolated at home in
Sa Kaeo Province, according to the investigation. More
than 2,000 cases have been verified in WatthanaNakhon,
Wang Nam Yen, and Khok Sung districts (3,105 cases,
2,413 cases, and 2,139 cases, respectively). MuangSaKaeo,
KhaoChakan, and Aranyaprathet districts were next,
each with 1,000-2,000 cases. The districts of Wang
Somboon, Khlong Hat, and Ta Phraya had the fewest
incidences (less than 500). As a result, an early and
efficient COVID-19 surveillance, control, and prevention
policy and guidelines are necessary. Establish a border
screening system that is efficient and has a sufficient
number of specialists to handle it. In the event of an
uncontrolled COVID-19 pandemic, strong policies such
as border closures among both Thailand and Cambodia
are implemented in accordance with epidemiological or
WHO recommendations.
