To address the question as to which infection surveillance measures are used during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in Germany and how they differ from pre-existing approaches. In accordance with the systematic approach of a scoping review, a literature search was conducted in national and international medical literature databases using a search string. The search in the databases was limited to the period from 01.01.2000 to 15.11.2020 and has been subsequently completed by hand search until 08.03.2021. A hand search, even beyond 15.11.2020, seemed necessary and reasonable, since due to the dynamics of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, a large number of articles and regulations are being published very quickly at short notice. The literature search resulted in the following number of hits in the databases listed below: PubMed: 165 articlesCochrane: 1 review and 35 studiesWeb of Science: 217 articlesRobert Koch Institute: 49 articles Thus, a total of 467 hits were identified, with a total of 124 hits being duplicates. From these, 138 articles were considered relevant to the COVID-19 infection surveillance situation in Germany based on established criteria. After reading the full texts, 92 articles and websites were ultimately included in the scoping review. Many of the lessons learned from previous outbreaks seem to have been implemented in the infection surveillance measures during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in Germany. Most of the changes compared with previous measures were based on technological streamlining of existing procedures and changes and more inclusion of the population in different infection surveillance measures.
为了回答在德国当前的新冠疫情期间使用了哪些感染监测措施以及它们与先前方法有何不同的问题。按照范围综述的系统方法，使用搜索词在国内和国际医学文献数据库中进行了文献检索。数据库检索限于2000年1月1日至2020年11月15日期间，随后通过手工检索补充至2021年3月8日。即使在2020年11月15日之后进行手工检索似乎也是必要且合理的，因为由于新冠疫情的动态变化，大量文章和法规在短时间内迅速发布。文献检索在以下列出的数据库中得到了以下命中数：PubMed：165篇文章；Cochrane：1篇综述和35项研究；Web of Science：217篇文章；罗伯特·科赫研究所：49篇文章。因此，共识别出467条命中记录，其中124条为重复记录。根据既定标准，从这些记录中筛选出138篇与德国新冠感染监测情况相关的文章。在阅读全文后，最终有92篇文章和网站被纳入范围综述。在德国当前的新冠疫情期间，感染监测措施似乎采纳了许多从以往疫情中学到的经验教训。与先前措施相比，大多数变化基于对现有程序的技术简化以及变化，并且在不同的感染监测措施中更多地纳入了人群。
