Abstract
CORNES, F. E.; FRANK, G. A. and DORSO, C. O.. Cycle strategy of lockdown and economic activity during the pandemic COVID-19. An. AFA [online]. 2020, vol.31, n.4, pp.150-156. ISSN 0327-358X. http://dx.doi.org/10.31527/analesafa.2020.31.4.150.
The investigation focuses on an on-off protocol for relieving the COVID-19 widespread. The protocol establishes a working period of 4 days for all the citizens, followed by 8 days of lock-down. We further propose splitting people into smaller groups that accomplish the on-off protocol, but shifted in time. This procedure is expected to regularize the overall economic activity. Our results show that either the protocol and the splitting procedure relieve the spreading. However, the latter seems to be better for economic reasons. Our simulations further show that the start-up time is a key issue for the success of the implementation.
