Why Does COVID-19 PCR Test Use a Primer That Is a Genetic Sequence Present in All Human DNA [???]

It’s an internal control. If you get negative results for COVID but positive for RNase P, then it means your extraction worked but the person is negative for COVID. If you get negative for everything including the human internal control, then your extraction was probably poor or you screwed up the PCR itself.

The COVID-19 RT-PCR Test is a real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT -PCR) test. The test can be run in a singleplex format (three individual assays) or multiplexed into a single reaction and amplification set up. In a singleplex format, the test uses three primer and probe sets to detect three regions in the SARSCoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) gene and one primer and probe set to detect human RNase P (RP) in a clinical sample. When multiplexed into a single reaction, the test uses two primer and probe sets to detect two regions in the SARS-CoV-2 N gene and one primer and probe set to detect RP.
I guess they wanted to avoid a repeat of the debacle in which some African president tested a goat and a mango (and something else ridiculous that I can’t recall), and the tests came back positive…
