Results. At the end of 2019, an outbreak of a new coronavirus infection occurred in the People's Republic of China with an epicenter in the city of Wuhan, the causative agent of which was given the temporary name 2019-nCoV. In 2020, the World Health Organization registered a pandemic caused by a coronavirus infection and classified the new coronavirus as SARS-Co V-2. The end of 2021 was characterized by a further mutation of the coronavirus and the emergence of the Omicron strain. In March 2022, the Omicron BA.2 (stealth-Omicron) strain was recorded, the nature of the disease in which also proceeds according to the type of acute catarrhal syndrome or acute respiratory disease. A feature of the new strains is a higher reproduction rate. In the period 2022-2023, new strains of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus are expected to appear, which makes the development of an express analyzer relevant.
