This paper examines the relationship between the number of COVID-19 cases to the amount of inward Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into a nation. This study focuses on 11 countries in Southeast Asia (ASEAN plus Timor-Leste). Quantitative methodology is employed to find the correlations between the impact of COVID-19 in a nation and the amount of inward FDI. Based on this study, it is reasonable to conclude that countries with severe impacts of COVID-19 get less inflow of FDI. Several sets of hypotheses are constructed and tested to help generalize the findings to other parts of the world.
