TLDR : Answer Summary
The Covid Visa is not suspended from March; however, its application has been extended until the end of March. Currently, only those on visa-exempt and tourist visas can obtain Covid extensions. Non-O visa holders must either renew their visa or leave Thailand after a short grace period.

What IS " covid extension" ?

They're not suspended from March as such - the ability to apply for has been extended until March. Whether they offer it past March is a guess.

Only those on visa exempt and tourist visa can get Covid extensions now. All those on Non o visas which are expiring either renew their visa or get a 7 day get out of Thailand stamp. Not expecting any more extensions after end of March.
