Dr Puey will talk about the virus structure and how it relates to the development of vaccines for COVID-19. He will also outline the research initiatives around COVID in Thailand.

Dr Pan will we report results of an anonymous online survey conducted in May 2020 to assess perceptions of Thai residents on public health measures to curb the pandemic.
