Abstract

Abstract The current pandemic caused by COVID-19 is raging across the world now. The causative agent is SARS-CoV2. Till now more than 5 lakh deaths have been reported in India, alone because of this pandemic. The diagnosis of COVID-19 rests upon detecting the pathogen or its antigen in nasopharyngeal swabs by PCR and rapid diagnosis by various lateral flow techniques of rapid ICT tests. So far ICT tests from blood samples have not been tried. We are here to present our research to find out the evaluation of ICT tests from blood samples.
