Abstract

Background

The ongoing outbreak of the recently emerged novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) poses a challenge for public health laboratories as virus isolates are unavailable while there is growing evidence that the outbreak is more widespread than initially thought, and international spread through travellers does already occur.

Aim

We aimed to develop and deploy robust diagnostic methodology for use in public health laboratory settings without having virus material available.
