Abstract
The Lancet Commission on lessons for the future from the COVID-19 pandemic1 discusses a series of failures during this challenging time, and we acknowledge the authors' comprehensive and important work. However, the authors refrained from discussing the urgent need to closely monitor the performance of SARS-CoV-2 testing, and to act when underperforming testing facilities and test systems were identified.
