The easiest way to reduce the infection rate is to stop counting them. Quietly, unofficially, I'm pretty sure a lot of countries are not proactively counting cases now.

if we are going to start "living with COVID" then new infections is probably not the best metric to focus on anyway - new hospital admissions and new ICU/ventilator numbers are a much better indicator of how well a country is coping, and if vaccination rates and social measures are working these figures should be decoupled from new infection rates anyway.
