Novel corona virus (2019-nCoV or COVID-19) pandemic has been considered as a major public health emergency in the world of this century. We synthesised noval 12 pairs of primers from the whole genome of COVID 19 virus by using In-silico approach. We observed primers have high binding capacity and no cross reactivity. These primers and probe may be useful for commercial development of one step RTPCR based kit for diagnosis of COVID 19.
