BRAC Institute of Governance and Development COVID-19 Exit-strategies Low and middle-income countries This article was published in The Social Science Research Network(SSRN) and the definite version is available at: http://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3625605 The Article's website is at: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3625605 To limit the social, economic and psychological damage caused by strict social distancing interventions, many low and middle-income countries (LMICs) are seeking to ease restrictions. However, it is unknown what a ‘safe reopening’ entails in LMICs given suboptimal diagnostic and surveillance capabilities. Here we discuss three community-based public health measures (sustained mitigation, zonal lockdown and dynamic rolling lockdowns) which seek to adequately balance the public health and economic priorities. Each of these options have limitations and prerequisites that may be context-specific and should be considered before implementation, including implementation and maintenance costs, social and economic costs, context-specific epidemic growth and the existing health resources.
