Title: Scheduling fixed length quarantines to minimize the total number of fatalities during an epidemic Cord-id: cao9b1vy Document date: 2021_6_8
ID: cao9b1vy
Snippet: We consider a susceptible, infected, removed (SIR) system where the transmission rate may be temporarily reduced for a fixed amount of time. We show that in order to minimize the total number of fatalities, the transmission rate should be reduced on a single contiguous time interval, and we characterize this interval via an integral condition. We conclude with a few numerical simulations showing the actual reduction obtained.
