As of 27 December 2021, SARS-CoV-2 has infected over 278 million persons and caused 5.3 million deaths. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, different methods, from medical to artificial intelligence, have been used for its detection, diagnosis, and surveillance. Meanwhile, fast and efficient point-of-care (POC) testing and self-testing kits have become necessary in the fight against COVID-19 and to assist healthcare personnel and governments curb the spread of the virus. This paper presents a review of the various types of COVID-19 detection methods, diagnostic technologies, and surveillance approaches that have been used or proposed. The review provided in this article should be beneficial to researchers in this field and health policymakers at large.
截至2021年12月27日，严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）已感染超过2.78亿人，并导致530万人死亡。自2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）疫情爆发以来，从医学到人工智能等不同方法已被用于其检测、诊断和监测。与此同时，快速高效的即时检测（POC）和自我检测试剂盒在抗击COVID-19以及协助医护人员和政府遏制病毒传播方面已变得必不可少。本文对已使用或提出的各种COVID-19检测方法、诊断技术和监测方法进行了综述。本文提供的综述应对该领域的研究人员以及广大卫生政策制定者有益。
