In this study, we investigated the compatibility between the two different SARS-CoV-2 PCR kits produced in Turkey during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the strong correlation of the two kit results suggested that two different RNA targeting gene assays were appropriate as suggested by WHO in the diagnosis of COVID-19 disease [20] . showed that similar results were found; the PCR kit with two different genes of the SARS-CoV-2 had a higher yield than the other two kits performing one gene analysis [21] . ./cache/cord-296392-2u9mz6d3.txt ./txt/cord-296392-2u9mz6d3.txt
