This article aims to study the crisis of Covid 19 that how it affects global changes. Crisis of the virus, patients are infected in their respiratory system by showing the symptoms from a low level such as stuffy nose, sore throat, cough and fever. In some cases are with severe symptoms including pneumonia together with difficult breathing. Some infected people may die but not often found. However, if the elderly and the people with chronic illnesses such as diabetes and heart disease are infected, they would be at risk of serious illness if they are exposed to a new strain of the corona virus that is heavily spreading all over the world right now. From the end of 2019 up to the present, the situation of the virus spread has been extended throughout the world. The outbreak rate of the COVID-19 virus is affected by the spread of such the COVID-19 virus itself that will continue to lead to the level of continuously increasing poverty and inequality.  These short-term effects may result in long-term impact such as the country's loss of competitive capacity and the long-term economic growth because it requires a large amount of resources to prevent and treat the patients affected by the virus Covid-19. This will cause the lack of resources for investment in the necessary infrastructure. In addition, there is also a loss of human capital of the country suffering from chronic illnesses (such as lung-related diseases) or students must stop studying specially in poor countries where human capital development systems like the public health system and education system are not comprehensive. When the people are unable to leave their homes, many businesses can be directly affected no matter they are restaurant businesses, trading businesses, tourist businesses, etc. In the past few months, many companies and stores must be gradually shut down. In an era of changes in the environment, new emerging diseases and sudden behavioral change in living, the word “New Normal” has been applied. "New Normal” means learning new ways of normal life in order to protect oneself and others. People who are not affected will be careful by wearing masks, properly washing hands, not touching faces with hands, keeping social distancing for 2 meters when one is in public areas, These are important and will be the standard of our lives for the long future or it needs to be behaved forever. To prevent the spread of other respiratory diseases, not only Covid-19 or even if the situation is well under control, the virus may reoccur after starting a lenient policy and neglecting self-protection such as not wearing masks or not washing hands. That is because no one knows that they themselves may be carriers of the virus both in Thailand and even abroad. This group of people can also spread the virus to other people. If we continue to comply with prevention measures as before, this will help restrain the outbreak.
