The EU-funded transdisciplinary scientific project, PANDASIA, had its first meeting during the mid of February 2023 in Khon Kaen to discuss solutions in reducing future risks of zoonoses spread in Thailand as well as come up with preventive measures.

 

According to the Open Access Government website, the project’s researchers consisted of biologists, veterinarians, mathematicians, sociologists and human medical doctors from Norway, Sweden, United Kingdom, Germany, and Thailand.

 

“PANDASIA is a new, transdisciplinary EU project by universities and research institutions in Europe and Thailand with the aim of investigating the origin of pandemics guided by the ‘One Health’ approach,” said Hans J Overgaard, the project coordinator from the Norwegian University of Life Sciences.

Sorry I had to look it up : 

A zoonosis is an infectious disease that has jumped from a non-human animal to humans.

"...the aim of investigating the origin of pandemics"

 

A good start would be to ensure that Bio-Labs performing Gain of Function research on Corona viruses have the proper safety protocols in place to contain any contaminats inside the lab.  Ensuring that lab researchers do not bring any contaminats out to public areas, such as a market place.
