The coronavirus pandemic has reached a grim mark, infecting more than 2.06 million. The death toll has risen to at least 137,000 globally, according to Johns Hopkins University. The number of confirmed cases in the United States have soared to at least 638,000, with more than 30,000 deaths. In this health crisis, global economies are under huge stress due to shutdown of economic activities and social distancing measures.

It is being believed that testing for COVID-19 is the major key in controlling the outbreak and making important decisions like treatment protocols, appropriate resource allocation and drafting the right healthcare policies. Along with molecular testing, antibody testing is gaining immense prominence as economies are struggling to reopen.
