Resumen
THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION HAS RECOMMENDED A RANGE OF SOCIAL AND HEALTH MEASURES TO MITIGATE THE SPREAD OF CORONAVIRUS DISEASE 2019 (COVID-19), INCLUDING STRATEGIES SUCH AS QUARANTINES, BORDER CLOSURES, SOCIAL DISTANCING, AND MASK USAGE, AMONG OTHERS. SPECIFICALLY, THE CHILEAN AUTHORITIES IMPLEMENTED THE ?STEP-BY-STEP? PLAN, BUILT ON THE CONCEPT OF DYNAMIC QUARANTINE. NUMEROUS STUDIES HAVE EXAMINED THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THESE QUARANTINES IN CHILE DURING THE PANDEMIC, UTILIZING DATA PUBLISHED BY THE CHILEAN MINISTRY OF HEALTH. THIS STUDY?S PRIMARY AIM WAS TO ENHANCE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF QUARANTINE EFFECTIVENESS IN CHILE DURING THE PANDEMIC. WE ACCOMPLISHED THIS BY ANALYZING THE DISTRIBUTIONAL BEHAVIOR OF THE TIME UNTIL THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC WAS DEEMED UNDER CONTROL OR NOT. IN OUR STUDY, WE DEFINED AN EVENT WITH TWO POTENTIAL OUTCOMES RELATED TO THE INSTANTANEOUS REPRODUCTIVE NUMBER (RT), WHICH SIGNIFIES THE TIME UNTIL A CHANGE IN THE EVENT OUTCOME OCCURS. IMPORTANTLY, WE DID NOT PREDEFINE A SPECIFIC TEMPORAL OBSERVATION UNIT.
