Hence, correct diagnosis for COVID-19 may play a key role in early detection, management and curtailment in the transmission rate.Therefore, apart from limiting this outbreak, efforts need to be made to plan comprehensive and stringent measures to develop diagnostic tools to prevent future outbreaks of this zoonotic disease.
