Pitfalls in the performance of real time PCR tests for SARS CoV-2 and time to improve these tests

Abstract
This letter is about the quality of real time PCR tests used to detect SARS CoV-2 for last 3 years. As there are many pitfalls found, which are leading to false results, therefore this problem is discussed here and the issue can be solved through in house validation of the kits before the laboratory uses them. Some of measurements are suggested e.g. each country should have its own reference labor...
