Abstract Background The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic sparked numerous studies on policy options for managing public health emergencies, especially regarding how to choose intensity prevention and control maintain a balance between economic development disease prevention. Methods We constructed cost-benefit model policies based an epidemic transmission model. On this basis, numerical simulations were performed different economies analyse dynamic evolution policies. These include areas with high costs, as seen in high-income economies, relatively low exhibited upper-middle-income economies. Results simulation results indicate that, at outset pandemic, both high-and low-cost tended enforce intensive interventions. However, virus evolved, particularly circumstances rates reproduction, short incubation periods, spans infection mortality rates, high-cost became inclined ease restrictions, while took opposite approach. consideration additional costs incurred by non-infected population means that economy is likely lift restrictions well. Conclusions This study concludes variations among nations varying income levels stem from variances characteristics, development, costs. can help researchers policymakers better understand differences choice various well changing trends choices, thus providing certain reference value direction global emergencies.
