In recent years , human beings have been suffering from diseases caused by various viruses. In particular, COVID‐19 has seriously affected the economy, society, and people′s health of the world. Reliable detection, diagnosis, and treatment technologies and products are needed to address the epidemic and possible future public health events. Nucleic acid aptamers, as antibody‐like recognition molecules, will play a role as new molecular tools in these aspects, especially in virus detection.
