Abstract:

 The SARS-CoV-2 outbreak that started in China creates COVID-19 pandemic all around the world. Thispandemic is declared as a world health crisis by the World Health Organization in 2020. As responsesto this pandemic, many countries have been conducting various measures to manage the spread of thedisease by means of lockdown, contacts tracing, and massive testing. As the vaccine and medicine forthis virus are under development, the governments all around the world can only apply non-curativemeasures. With many considerations, especially in the economic sector, governments seem hesitantto apply extensive control measures and this results in a considerable economic loss. In this paper, ageneric mathematical model with thirteen compartments is developed, of which it is equipped with fivecontrol measures namely quarantine, active carrier identification, recovered individual identification,past infection identification, and medical treatment. We employ the COVID-19 outbreak in Jakarta asa study case to evaluate a series of control scenarios. Optimal control approach is used to find the bestcontrol strategy in managing the pandemic. It is suggested that adding the efforts on testing policy andmedical treatment 40 days after the first confirmed infection is the most cost-effective strategy with thenumber of death decreased as much as 60.21 percent of the death cases under initial control strategy.
