    Snippet: These results should be interpreted in a qualitative sense because we have made a number of assumptions to derive our solutions. First, the structure of the model itself could be refined, for instance to explicitly model critical cases as in the model by [2] .

    Document: These results should be interpreted in a qualitative sense because we have made a number of assumptions to derive our solutions. First, the structure of the model itself could be refined, for instance to explicitly model critical cases as in the model by [2] . Several epidemiological parameters of the COVID-19 epidemics also remain largely unknown at this stage [18] . The natural and disease-induced mortality functions could also be modified to fit even more to the data. For instance, both of these could depend on the intensity of the control c(t) because resource allocation to fighting COVID-19 can imply increased mortality by other diseases. Finally, the structure of the objective function itself and the quadratic cost associated with the cost coefficient B could also be explored further.
