Conflict of interest statement

As widely documented to the Editor of the Journal of Medical Virology, I and my collaborators don't have any conflict of interest. On March 25, 2020, after submission of this manuscript, Foundation IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo signed a research contract with DiaSorin on different projects: i) validation of a rapid assay for detection of SARS CoV2 RNA and ii) validation of an automated CLIA assay for detection of SARS CoV2 neutralizing antibodies. The authors don t have any economical or any other forms of conflict of interest.
