Resumo: | The foreseeable lifting of the containment measures that were taken in Spain to reduce the rate of contagion and avoid saturation of the health system caused by the COVID-19 pandemia, suggests making approaches to how to deal with it. Strategies are proposed until the infected population exceeds the herd immunity threshold: an initial unfiltered proportional reopening, an age-limiting one (first strategy), and a more selective one, restricting mobility by age and only to people without chronic diseases (second strategy). The results obtained show reductions in the potential number of deaths of 82.56 %, if it were limited only by age. If it were restricted by age and without chronic diseases the reduction grows up to 95.34 %. Therefore, the fatality rate would be reduced from 1.04 % to 0.18 % and 0.05 % respectively. |

Se plantean estrategias hasta que la población contagiada supere el umbral de la inmunidad de grupo: una salida proporcional sin filtrar, una reapertura limitando por edad (primera estrategia) y un desconfinamiento más selectivo restringiendo salidas por edad a personas sin enfermedades crónicas (segunda estrategia). Los resultados obtenidos muestran reducciones en el número potencial de fallecidos del 82.56 % si se limitase la reapertura por edad y del 95.34 % si se restringiese por edad y sin enfermedades crónicas. Así, se reduciría la letalidad del 1.04 %, al 0.18 % y 0.05 % respectivamente.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2020-05-06info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/35410.1590/SciELOPreprints.354spahttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/354/434Copyright (c) 2020 Alejandro Buján Pérez, Ignacio López Domínguez, Pablo Mallaina Garcia, Ramiro Romero Fresnedahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBuján Pérez, AlejandroDomínguez, Ignacio LópezGarcia, Pablo MallainaFresneda, Ramiro Romeroreponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:SciELOinstacron:SCI2020-05-06T06:50:54Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/354Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2020-05-06T06:50:54SciELO Preprints - SciELOfalse |
