Abstract
For the early management of disease, infection & identification of corona virus for this purpose diagnostic testing is very effective because it provides significant effectiveness for the identification of cause. Number of tests are performed to investigate this viral infection but in some health institutions most of the tests are not present like viral traditional culture because for this purpose biosafety 3 level facilities are required. Currently one of the effective tests for the identification of covid 19 includes polymerase chain reaction real time reverse transcription. So, in all around the world this method is effectively used to detect the short acute respiratory syndrome corona virus. Some molecular test which performed for this purpose includes swab of oro-naso-pharyngeal also performed saliva & sputum test and for this purpose testing kits are available.
