How relevant is the decision of containment measures against COVID-19 applied ahead of time?	2020-08-12		.txt	text/plain	4568	304	65	The cumulative number of confirmed infected individuals by the new coronavirus outbreak until April 30(th), 2020, is presented for the countries: Belgium, Brazil, United Kingdom (UK), and the United States of America (USA). For Belgium, UK, and USA, countries with a large number of infected people, after the power-law growth, a distinct behavior is obtained when approaching saturation. We study how changing the social distance and the number of daily tests to identify infected asymptomatic individuals can interfere in the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 when applied in three distinct days, namely April 16(th) (early), April 30(th) (current), and May 14(th) (late). One leading observation was that after an initial time with a low incidence of newly infected people, the growth of the cumulative number of confirmed cases for all studied countries followed a power-law.	./cache/cord-283291-lj3k53px.txt	./txt/cord-283291-lj3k53px.txt
