In Saxony, nearly 10,000 people are tested for the corona virus every day. According to Köpping, this is a huge order of magnitude. There is a wide range of professional groups that can be tried. But also in the cold season let the test numbers skyrocket.
The Robert Koch Institute has changed its recommendations for coronavirus testing due to laboratory overload. Consequently, people with clear symptoms of Covid 19 should be tested, but suspected symptom-free cases should not be performed.
