Abstract

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes the currently pandemic contagious  coronavirus disease 2019 known as COVID-19 disease in Thailand and worldwide. Development of diagnostic  methods to reach people at the regional and local settings quickly and inexpensively are thereby necessary  to help stop the spread of the COVID-19 infected people. The standard conventional diagnosis of COVID-19 in laboratory is using reverse transcription followed quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR)  techniques, which is specific and accurate but requires a high-priced analytical equipment and long-time  analysis. Therefore, the invention and development of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) test kit for the local and  point-of-care detection will help resolve these problems. Now, the COVID-19 test kits are classified by the  detection of viral genetic material in respiratory secretions, and the detection of human blood immunity  (immunoglobulin: Ig). This article presents information and details about these COVID-19 test kits, including limitations and ongoing researches for the more effective COVID-19 test ki
