Lenert warned against complacency however, as there could be a turnaround once again, as the risk of infection at home rises with pupils returning to schools across the country over the coming weeks.
With this in mind, a number of teaching staff and pupils have already registered for Covid-19 testing ahead of their return to school.
Lenert said the Ministry was striving to return to normality where possible, stating it was needed for society's well-being. The goal in schools would be to protect students as much as possible without taking risks, but also allowing them to continue their education.
The Minister insisted on caution, despite Luxembourg being the only country to have gathered a broad selection of data on symptomatic and asymptomatic people thanks to the focus on testing over the last few months.
However, Lenert said she regretted the fact that small mistakes had occurred in the testing process recently, such as the emergence of false positives. The rigorous protocol required for positive cases was difficult to abandon in the event of a false positive, which meant that the authorities could not offer different treatment to those who tested positive in error.
Lenert also warned that the regular winter flu will appear with the onset of the colder months. The Ministry of Health is in the process of developing a system of priorities to cope with the potential onslaught of illness - compared to previous years, authorities have ordered more flu shots, and many citizens have reportedly already booked their appointments. On Friday, recommendations will be sent to doctors so that vulnerable people and those belonging to risk groups can be given priority for the vaccination.
All doses of the flu vaccine have not yet been delivered, according to the minister.
