Timely identification and isolation of affected individuals is one of the most important factors to control spreading of the newly emerged SARS-CoV-2. Consequently, it is crucial to maintain sufficient sample capacities in diagnostic laboratories. Here, we present a high-through-put approach for PCR-based SARS-CoV-2 testing. The implementation of sample pooling reduces costs and workload, especially in times with low population prevalence.
