Point‐of‐care CRISPR/Cas biosensing technology: A promising tool for preventing the possible COVID‐19 resurgence caused by contaminated cold‐chain food and packaging

Abstract The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) has caused great public health concern and has been a global threat due to its high transmissibility and morbidity. Although the SARS‐CoV‐2 transmission mainly rel...

description Abstract The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) has caused great public health concern and has been a global threat due to its high transmissibility and morbidity. Although the SARS‐CoV‐2 transmission mainly relies on the person‐to‐person route through the respiratory droplets, the possible transmission through the contaminated cold‐chain food and packaging to humans has raised widespread concerns. This review discussed the possibility of SARS‐CoV‐2 transmission via the contaminated cold‐chain food and packaging by tracing the occurrence, the survival of SARS‐CoV‐2 in the contaminated cold‐chain food and packaging, as well as the transmission and outbreaks related to the contaminated cold‐chain food and packaging. Rapid, accurate, and reliable diagnostics of SARS‐CoV‐2 is of great importance for preventing and controlling the COVID‐19 resurgence. Therefore, we summarized the recent advances on the emerging clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas system‐based biosensing technology that is promising and powerful for preventing the possible COVID‐19 resurgence caused by the contaminated cold‐chain food and packaging during the COVID‐19 pandemic, including CRISPR/Cas system‐based biosensors and their integration with portable devices (e.g., smartphone, lateral flow assays, microfluidic chips, and nanopores). Impressively, this review not only provided an insight on the possibility of SARS‐CoV‐2 transmission through the food supply chain, but also proposed the future opportunities and challenges on the development of CRISPR/Cas system‐based detection methods for the diagnosis of SARS‐CoV‐2.
