Very rarely do I defend the last government of Germany, but the strategy was to give centers a good margin and low bureaucratic hurdle to maximize the number of testing centers and ensure that everyone can get tested everywhere. Given the seriousness and uncertainty of the situation at the time, I think that was a good call.

And there was required documentation, it was just not checked at the time. Once the situation settled down, the state started clawing back fraudulent claims.
