Assessing the efficiency of different control strategies for the
COVID-19 epidemic

Abstract:
The goal of this work is to analyze the effects of control policies for the
coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic in Brazil. This is done by considering an
age-structured SEIR model with a quarantine class and two types of controls.
The first one studies the sensitivity with regard to the parameters of the basic
reproductive number R0 which is calculated by a next generation method.
The second one evaluates different quarantine strategies by comparing their
relative total number of deaths.
