Abstract
Most focus during the Covid-19 crisis has been on which measures of governments are the most effective to curb the spread of the virus. Far less attention has been given to the best way to release the restrictions. In this chapter we discuss the various elements of the so-called exit strategies from different governments. We will group them in several types of strategies and compare the effectiveness of them. From our simulations we do not observe big differences in the outcomes from the exit strategies. Because the simulations are run on a small scale more research would be needed to see how the results could be translated to the real world. However, in practice we have seen that the effects of the different strategies in countries around the world have indeed had little effect on preventing a second wave.
