A critical bottleneck in COVID‐19 diagnosis and surveillance is the shortage of kits for RNA extraction. In article number 2000068, Mo Li and co‐workers develop a DIY, open‐source, safe, and fast method for magnetic‐nanoparticle‐aided viral RNA isolation from contagious samples (MAVRICS). MAVRICS ri...
