Overview

Pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus is accompanied by a wealth of information that also deals with the laboratory diagnosis of the disease caused by the virus, which has been named COVID-19. The aim of this communication is to contribute to the issue of how to indicate and interpret the results of laboratory tests performed in the diagnosis of COVID-19.

Keywords:

SARS-CoV-2 – COVID-19 – laboratory diagnostics.
