The goal of this work is to analyze the effects of control policies for the coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic in Brazil. This is done by considering an age-structured SEIR model with a quarantine class and two types of controls. The first one studies the sensitivity with regard to the parameters of the basic reproductive number R0 which is calculated by a next generation method. The second one evaluates different quarantine strategies by comparing their relative total number of deaths.
