Abstract

Abstract : Summary of the latest research progress on detection methods of SARS-CoV-2, providing a reference to develop rapid and accurate diagnostic strategies for COVID-19. Abstract : Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in December 2019, the highly contagious SARS-CoV-2 virus has spread rapidly worldwide. Although the governments across the world have adopted different preventative measures, the spread of the virus still cannot be effectively controlled, and the number of infections and deaths continues to grow. Early diagnosis of COVID-19 is one of the key measures to control the spread of the pandemic and timely treatment of infected people. This review summarizes current COVID-19 diagnostic techniques based on virology, serology, and imaging diagnostics and discusses their advantages and limitations with the aim of providing a reference for rapid and accurate diagnosis of COVID-19.
