Which represent the dramatically impact of covid-19 on the Profitability and Financial Health of the firm. While there are not significantly different in Transportation and Logistic Sector and Health Care Sector. Research implications-Researcher can use this Wilcoxon test in other sectors Thailand or in other country. The investors are not recommended to invest in the stock under the sector of tourism and leisure sector due to the financial performance which effected by the covid-19 pandemic.
