The purpose of the strategy is to save and preserve the life and health of people, while minimizing the negative economic consequences of the crisis, with minimal weight on the state budget.

The main idea is то divide the team and the patients into two major groups and to adapt different actions towards the two groups.

• The two groups will be: A (active) and E (endangered):
• The endangered group: elderly people with health issues, who have been recorded to have high mortality rate with Cov-10. The measures for them are focused towards maximum restriction of activity and contact with others, aiming to keep their health and life.
• The active group: people in active age without any chronic diseases, kids and young people, who have been recorded to have low risk of fatal end. The measures for them are towards saving the economic activity of the state/country with really strict rules for restricting the spread of the virus.
