Should RT‐PCR be considered a gold standard in the diagnosis of Covid‐19?

Résumé

To face the new Covid-19 pandemic, the need for early and accurate diagnosis of the disease among suspected cases quickly became obvious for effective management, and for better control of the spread of the disease in the population.
