The need for big data to prevent a second waveThe recent detection of Covid-19 infecting a member of an Egyptian military group who visited the kingdom and a diplomat's daughter in the kingdom has heightened fears that a second wave of the disease will occur. A second wave of the outbreak is likely to occur if we "allow the enemy behind friendly lines," as we welcome the return of tourists, investors and other foreigners. The second wave will be a game of cat and mouse, where each new cluster of infections will have to be dealt with individually. Only with smart management can Thailand win the fight against a second wave of Covid-19 and put the economy back on track. Tracking app developers must provide consistent feature updates to boost monitoring.
