Title A name given to the resource Strengthening of Molecular Diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19 with a Special Focus on India Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Vivek Kumar Gupta, Rajesh Chaudhary, Raj Kumar Singh, Kuldeep Dhama, Ruchi Tiwari, Senthilkumar Natesan, Sandip Kumar Khurana, Ragini Bhatia Description An account of the resource Severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), a novel coronavirus initially reportedin Wuhan, China, is the causative agent of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Symptoms of thedisease comprise of fever, tiredness, dry cough, aches and pains, nasal congestion, runny nose, sorethroat, diarrhoea and pneumonia at the late stage. SARS-CoV-2 has severely crippled the healthcaresystem and has caused huge economic losses. Following the outbreak, the SARS-CoV-2 was recognizedtimely and its genome was sequenced, leading to the development of real-time polymerase chainreaction assays for its detection in clinical samples collected from suspected cases. The management ofthe pandemic is limited by a number of misconceptions and insufficient information about laboratorytesting for SARS-CoV-2 to confirm the disease. This includes a lack of awareness about proceduresfor the collection, transport, testing, and handling of biological samples for COVID diagnosis. Thisarticle provides an overview of the current laboratory diagnostic methods with a purpose to provideinformation and guidance to laboratories, stakeholders, broader community and especially publichealth professionals involved in laboratory testing for SARS-CoV-2.
