The senator sees this as a further step towards normalization in dealing with Coronavirus. This also includes the plan to change monitoring procedures. In the future, the incidence - i.e. the number of infected persons per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days - will "become increasingly unimportant" in the evaluation of the pandemic, Gote said. This is party due to the fact that not all infections have been recorded for a long time anyway, because less testing is being done than in the past. In the future, according to Gote, other tools will be used to get an overview of the infection rate. "We will then work with random sampling, just as it is done with influenza."
