Abstract
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus
(SARS-CoV-2) has caused national governments worldwide to
mandate several generic infection control measures such as
physical distancing, self-isolation, and closure of non-essential
shops, restaurants schools, among others. Some models suggest
physical distancing would have to persist for 3 months to
mitigate the peak effects on health systems and could be required
on an intermittent basis for 12 to 18 months (Flaxman et al.,
2020).
