Abstract
Today COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus is the most challenging health issue due to the fast transmission rate and its impact on different aspects of human life. Although RT-PCR is the primary method to detect SARS-CoV-2, other reliable methods are being developed to detect this pathogen. Biosensors can provide fast, reliable, and point-of-care diagnostic. Among them, electrochemical biosensors attract considerable interest. In this mini-review, I will summarize few electrochemical biosensors which have been developed to detect the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
