Abstract
To prevent further spread of the COVID 19 pandemic, rapid and accurate diagnosis of the infection is essential. The standard method for detecting coronavirus is polymerase chain reaction. Serological methods and tests for detecting antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 and determining protective immunity in the population are usually used to retrospectively identify those patients who have already suffered an asymptomatic and mild form of infection. Immunological monitoring is necessary to control the situation of infection in patients at the hospital and pre-hospital stages, in order to track contacts and conduct epidemiological surveillance of the situation with the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus
