The emergence of a new coronavirus infection COVID-19 in the world has posed new challenges for medical workers, including laboratory specialists, related to the rapid and timely diagnosis of this infection. Timely diagnosis of it allows you to start taking preventive and curative measures in time to provide medical care. The aim. Determination of the level of immunoglobulins M and G to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus in employees of a medical emergency pediatric organization with the aim of conducting a study of collective (population) immunity. Summary. The main diagnostic method for determining SARS-CoV-2 is the polymerase chain reaction. To detect immunoglobulins M and G to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, immunochemiluminescent and immunochromatographic methods are used.
