Nanotechnology is useful for many applications. The use of nanomaterials can help create new innovations that can be applied in several aspects, including medical aspects. In medicine, nanomedicine is the specific branch of nanoscience. Applied nanomedicine is useful for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of medical disorders. The applied nanomedicine for diagnosis, nanodiagnosis, is confirmed for its advantage. In the present day, COVID-19 is a newly emerging infectious disease that already causes pandemic worldwide. This new emerging respiratory viral infection caused the pandemic and affected more than 17 million of the world population and result in many deaths. The diagnosis of this new disease is a big challenge in medicine. Of several new attempts in diagnosis, nanotechnology is presently applied for diagnostic purposes in managing COVID-19. The applied nanodiagnosis for managing COVID-19 is an interest application of nanotechnology. In this short review, the authors discuss the applied nanodiagnosis for COVID-19.
