Germany is considering to test 200,000 people every day for coronavirus in an attempt to replicate South Korea’s way to success in curbing the spread of the coronavirus outbreak.
The government-run by Angela Merkel is planning to test all suspected cases along with the whole circle of people who have come in contact with the COVID-patients.
South Korea has set a great example for the rest of the world and showed how mobile phones could be used to track the spread of the virus.
Even now, Germany is testing more people than any other European countries at the speed of 500,000 people per week, and the country plan to double this number.
The country’s new plan to boost the testing process was mentioned in the interior ministry document, which is seen by many media outlets of Germany.
According to the document, the main objective is to shift from testing confirmed situations to getting ahead of it all.
The existing testing criteria are centred on screening people who are showing symptoms or have been in contact with people tested positive with COVID-19. Germany is planning a ‘trace, test, and treat’ strategy that has seemed to helped South Korea to curb the outbreak of this killer virus.
It encompasses mass screening for potential causes along with leveraging technology to track the condition of the patients.
While Germany and South Korea are two different nations, the strategy of the latter country can be considered as a great example.
Lohar Wieler, the head of the Robert Koch Institute said that the key is an important point is tracing mobile data. While surveillance is an inefficient subject in Germany, the health minister admits that it’s hard to slow down the coronavirus spread without proper tracking.
