The coronavirus pandemic is a worldwide hazard that poses a threat to millions of individuals throughout the world. This pandemic is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which was initially identified in Wuhan, China's Hubei provincial capital, and has since spread throughout the world. According to the World Health Organization's Weekly Epidemiological Update, there were more than 250 million documented cases of coronavirus infections globally, with five million fatalities. Early detection of coronavirus does not only reduce the spread of the virus, but it also increases the chance of curing the infection. Spectroscopic techniques have been widely used in the early detection and diagnosis of COVID-19 using Raman, Infrared, mass spectrometry and fluorescence spectroscopy. In this review, the reported spectroscopic methods for COVID-19 detection were discussed with emphasis on the practical aspects, limitations and applications.
冠状病毒大流行是一种全球性危害，对全球数百万人构成威胁。这种大流行是由最初在中国湖北省省会武汉发现的严重急性呼吸系统综合症冠状病毒 2 型（SARS-CoV-2）引起的，此后已在全球范围内传播。根据世界卫生组织的《每周流行病学更新》，全球有超过 2.5 亿例冠状病毒感染病例，造成 500 万人死亡。早期检测冠状病毒不仅可以减少病毒的传播，而且还可以提高治愈感染的机会。光谱技术已广泛用于使用拉曼、红外、质谱和荧光光谱法对 COVID-19 的早期检测和诊断。在这篇综述中，讨论了报道的用于 COVID-19 检测的光谱方法，重点介绍了实际方面、局限性和应用。
