Diagnostics have proven to be crucial to the COVID-19 pandemic response.

A review in The Lancet evaluates the three major methods for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection and their role in managing the pandemic. This infographic provides a visual overview of the strengths and weaknesses of molecular (PCR), antigen (lateral flow), and serology (antibody) tests, and summarizes guidance on their effective use in different settings. 

All three types of COVID-19 test continue to have a crucial role in the transition from pandemic response to pandemic control.
