Reporting one step nested RT-PCR, specific for ORF1ab gene, which performs two successive rounds of amplification at low cost with greater flexibility. Assay efficiency was found to be 99.66%. 183 bp sequence of ORF1ab gene (region 3801 to 3983 bp) of the reference genome (accession number: MN908947.3) has 100% similarity to all SARS-CoV-2 sequences reported in the GenBank, and 86.96% similarity with the bat SARS-like coronavirus isolate sequence. The 1COFw and 1CORw primers can be used separately for COVID-19 diagnosis from clinical samples.
