The new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has a strong transmission ability and has been confirmed to be transmissible from person to person. Asymptomatic carriers can also be a source of transmission. Rapid and accurate diagnosis of the new coronavirus is particularly important to control the outbreak. Based on the relevant research progress at home and abroad, this paper analyzes and combs the four major detection technologies of new coronaviruses such as fluorescent PCR, isothermal amplification, Cas enzyme technology and immunoassay, in order to provide references and ideas for the diagnosis, prevention and control of new coronaviruses and other epidemic viruses.
