ABSTRACT
Since December 2019, the emergence of a new respiratory disease outbreak named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-COV-2) has brought the world to its attention. Although a coronavirus vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 is currently being developed, breakthrough infections have so far taken much longer than expected since the virus mutates much faster than previously thought. The prevention and control of the continuous spread of SARS-CoV-2 have become a global problem. Accurate, rapid, and economical diagnostic methods are a prerequisite for containing the continued transmission of the SARS-CoV-2. This paper reviews SARS-CoV-2 detection methods, and CRISPR, a new, efficient and cheap detection technique, is systematically analyzed and summarized, including principle introduction, specific classification, and comparison with conventional detection methods, and then guides the development of this technology.
