provinces have been analyzed. Utilizing a model recently published to predict
pandemic behavior, confinement measures and their economic impact are
analyzed. Applying principles for effective and efficient management of
engineering assets, decision-making implications of establishing confinement at
national, regional or local (province) level are analyzed. The quarantine time is
formulated as a function of the delay in taking confinement measures in the
territories. The delay is measured in time since the free expansion in the
territory is observed. Results discussions and analysis help to formulate a
recommended strategy that is presented in the paper. We aim for: (i) design
action plans by local level but(ii) controlled centralized by a unique decisionmaking
center considering by country. Benefits of that strategy are measured in
quarantine times beside GDP loss toll recovery. The strategy would be even
more convenient when tackling with successive waves of the pandemic,
requesting immediate action on local relapse
