The acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that causes the illness COVID-19 first emerged throughout China in December 2019 and subsequently spread throughout the globe after the World Health Organization designated it a global outbreak in March 2020.We used the terms COVID-19, SARS-COV-2, Medical Laboratory Professionals,Diagnostic, and Importance, difficulties to search the databases of PubMed and Google Scholar for previously published material. Many molecular based diagnostic tests are applied in corona virus detection like Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction, Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction, Droplet Digital polymerase Chain reaction, Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification Test and more. Due to lack of availability of molecular and serologic tests that have been clinically validated or authorized by national or international regulatory bodies, Clinical laboratory experts are tackling threats to our global defense and wellness, including infectious diseases. The opportunity to express gratitude to the unsung medical laboratory heroes and COVID0-19 pandemic allies is now greater than ever. Each year, Medical Laboratory Professionals Week should honors those who contribute key diagnostic data that help save lives. This review article explore overall summary on testing methods including Important and Difficult Tasks for Medical Laboratories which will provide good message for better public health matter.

The methodology is not provided in sufficient detail and therefore needs to be addressed first before this manuscript can be considered any further. It is stated that several journals were searched, which ones exactly and with which search words, what were the criteria for the journal selection? How can you find 22 references and then use 52 of them? What are the criteria for inclusion/exclusion of a certain paper. In your abstract you express gratitude to all medical staff, since this is a scientific article this is not the appropiate place to put this. I suggest that you include this in the acknowledgement section rather than as part of the manuscript itself.
