The proposal aims to provide much-needed information to the administration about infections and symptoms and therefore assist in the relaxation of social distancing measures. Random testing, if implemented in large sample, can also serve as an \u201cearly warning\u201d system in the unlikely case of a second phase.\u00a0 First, the study builds the case for random sampling, discussing the urgent need for testing nowadays and the high social value of random tests. Second, it presents some ideas on the project implementation that aims to record both statically and dynamically infection rates, distinguishing between symptomatic and asymptomatic cases. \u00a0Third, it goes over specific aspects of the proposed project\u2019s implementation; its funding, scientific background, collaborating teams. While other countries are proceeding with similar \u2013and almost indexical- \u00a0plans, the Greek administration should not lose time.
