  The COVID-19 pandemic has completely disrupted the operation of our
societies. Its elusive transmission process, characterized by an unusually long
incubation period, as well as a high contagion capacity, has forced many
countries to take quarantine and social isolation measures that conspire
against the performance of national economies. This situation confronts
decision makers in different countries with the alternative of reopening the
economies, thus facing the unpredictable cost of a rebound of the infection.
This work tries to offer an initial theoretical framework to handle this
alternative.
