Reporting a conventional one-step RT-PCR assay, specific for the E gene of SARS-CoV-2, which can be used as a lower-cost alternative method for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in remote places. The conventional PCR detected until 1e-7 dilutions of the isolates. The highest Ct detected by conventional PCR was 35.98

Reporting one step nested RT-PCR, specific for ORF1ab gene, which performs two successive rounds of amplification at low cost with greater flexibility. Assay efficiency was found to be 99.66%. 183 bp sequence of ORF1ab gene (region 3801 to 3983 bp) of the reference genome (accession number: MN908947.3) has 100% similarity to all SARS-CoV-2 sequences reported in the GenBank, and 86.96% similarity with the bat SARS-like coronavirus isolate sequence. The 1COFw and 1CORw primers can be used separately for COVID-19 diagnosis from clinical samples.

In this study, a clinically useful timeline of two diagnostic tests, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and IgM and IgG enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is reported, by using data from several published reports for detection of COVID-19. For symptomatic patients, viral RNA in the nasopharyngeal swab becomes detectable as early as day 1 of symptoms onset, peaks within the first week, declines by the third week, and subsequently becomes undetectable. In the study, most data are for adult populations who are not immunocompromised.
