Optimal quarantine strategies for the COVID-19 pandemic in a population with a discrete age structure 2020-05-19 .txt text/plain 3123 191 64 We then compare the optimal controls for different quarantine lengths and distribution of the total control cost by assessing their respective reductions in deaths in comparison to the same period without quarantine. We then compare the optimal controls for different quarantine lengths and distribution of the total control cost by assessing their respective reductions in deaths in comparison to the same period without quarantine. Our goal is to calculate the optimal quarantine strategies numerically for different choices of parameters in the model, which reflect the decisions governments must make when implementing these policies, such as evaluating the economical costs of the quarantine for each of the age groups and when to start implementing the measures. and Q i (t) be the number of susceptible, exposed, infected, recovered and quarantined individuals in each age group at time t ≥ 0, respectively.
