Abstract

About Diagnosing SARS-CoV-2 infections early, quickly, and reliably is critical to isolate patients and slow down transmission. Current RT-PCR based diagnostic tests are insufficiently accessible, time consuming and have suboptimal sensitivity. We propose to develop alternative or complementary tests based on detection of viral genomes by RNA-fluorescence in situ hybridization (RNA-FISH).
