Abstract

Objective: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by a novel coronavirus, named Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). WHO declared COVID-19 as pandemic On March 11. Methods: RDT dan RT PCR was used for SARS-CoV-2 detection. Medical laboratory technicians and medical laboratory technologists play a vital role to provide the clinical support for the diagnosis of Covid-19. They must have good knowledge of the diagnosis methods to avoid the inaccurate or missed results. This study investigated the level of knowledge of them RDT and RT-PCR. The research design used was descriptive with a cross-sectional approach used questionnaire, with a sample of 102 people. Result: Statistical analysis that is used in descriptive is a way of analysis. The results showed that respondents had adequate level of knowledge about 77.5%, the respondents had poor knowledge of RDT 12.7%. As many as 9.8%, respondents had good knowledge of RDT. The respondents had adequate level of knowledge about RT-PCR 39.2%, the respondents had poor knowledge of RT-PCR about 57.8%. As many as 2.9% of participants had good knowledge of RT-PCR. Conclution: The researchers concluded that most of the respondents were well knowledgeable about RDT a
