Abstract
The SARS-CoV-2 virus has been a persistent challenger from 2019 causing the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The occurrence of numerous mutations over the passage of time leads to the emergence of new variants. These variants have posed significant challenges to our efforts to control the spread of the disease. One particular area where their impact has been felt is in COVID-19 testing. In this editorial, we would try to explore the consequences of SARS-CoV-2 mutations on COVID-19 testing and discuss the strategies to address these challenges.
