Abstract

UNLABELLED: Timely diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 is important for infection control and treatment. Real-time reverse transcriptase PCR (rRT-PCR) tests are the reference standard for diagnosis but often require a centralized laboratory, making them time-intensive and unsuitable for resource-limited settings. The Abbott ID NOW™ COVID-19 2.0 assay is a rapid point-of-care (POC), isothermal molecular test f…
