Reviewer 3 Report

This manuscript addresses social distancing in the COVID-19 pandemic. The main findings of this paper are important in fully understanding the social changes brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the authors need to state whether the model can be adapted to all countries, not just Brazil, which is the subject of this study. Overall, I would suggest extensive revision in combination with re-review for this manuscript.

[2. Problem Definition and Optimization Model] Is the area where this study was conducted far from the Brazilian capital? Or are they located in urban areas? If possible, I would like you to indicate this on a map. Also, what was the number of COVID-19 infections and deaths in Brazil and the study area during the study period? Is it possible to show this information graphically?

[4. Discussion] Were there any limitations in this study? What are some of the problems that could be solved in order to apply this research to the real world?
