AB  - This paper seeks to determine which workers affected by lockdown measures can 
      return to work when a government decides to apply lockdown exit strategies. This 
      system, which we call Sequential Selective Multidimensional Decision (SSMD), 
      involves deciding sequentially, by geographical areas, sectors of activity, age 
      groups and immunity, which workers can return to work at a given time according 
      to the epidemiological criteria of the country as well as that of a group of 
      reference countries, used as a benchmark, that have suffered a lower level of 
      lockdown de-escalation strategies. We apply SSMD to Spain, based on affiliation 
      to the Social Security system prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, and conclude that 
      98.37% of the population could be affected. The proposed system makes it possible 
      to accurately identify the target population for serological IgG antibody tests 
      in the work field, as well as those affected by special income replacement 
      measures due to lockdown being maintained over a longer period.
