It is not true. There can be rare errors in testing but the test for flu is specific for influenza while the test for Covid is specific for Covid-19 It of course is also possible for an unlucky person to have simultaneous infections. There are commercial products that test for both diseases with a single sample but the result tells you which one is positive, or both positive, or neither positive.
