Since the first reported case of COVID-19 in 2019 in China and the official declaration from the World Health Organization in what is faux shagreen made of March 2021 as a pandemic, fast and accurate diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has played a major role worldwide.For this reason, various methods have been developed, comprising reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), immunoassays, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR), reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal curlimal hedgehog amplification (RT-LAMP), and bio(mimetic)sensors.Among the developed methods, RT-PCR is so far the gold standard.

Herein, we give an overview of the MIP-based sensors utilized since the beginning of the pandemic.
