During an epidemic, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, policy-makers are facedwith the decision of implementing effective, yet socioeconomically costlyintervention strategies, such as school and workplace closure, physicaldistancing, etc. In this study, we propose a rigorous definition ofepidemiological strategies. In addition, we develop a scheme for comparingcertain epidemiological strategies, with the goal of providing policy-makerswith a tool for their systematic comparison. Then, we put the suggested schemeto the test by employing an age-based epidemiological compartment modelintroduced in Bitsouni et al. (2024), coupled with data from the literature, inorder to compare the effectiveness of age-based and horizontal interventions.In general, our findings suggest that these two are comparable, mainly at a lowor medium level of intensity.
