Amplicon residues in research laboratories masquerade as COVID-19 in surveillance tests

Amplicon residues in research laboratories masquerade as COVID-19 in surveillance tests

Asymptomatic surveillance testing together with COVID-19-related research can lead to positive SARS-CoV-2 tests resulting not from true infections, but non-infectious, non-hazardous by-products of research (amplicons).
