 Abstract: Our lives (and deaths) have by now been dominated for two years by COVID-19, a pandemic that has caused hundreds of millions of disease cases, millions of deaths, trillions in economic costs, and major restrictions on our freedom. Here we suggest a novel tool for controlling the COVID-19 pandemic. The key element is a method for a population-scale PCR-based testing, applied on a systematic and repeated basis. For this we have developed a low cost, highly sensitive virus-genome-based test. Using Germany as an example, we demonstrate by using a mathematical model, how useful this strategy could have been in controlling the pandemic. We show using real-world examples how this might be implemented on a mass scale and discuss the feasibility of this approach.
