A relation expressing the covariant transformation properties of a relativistic position operator is derived. This relation differs from the one existing in the literature expressing manifest covariance by some factor ordering. The relation is derived in order for the localization of a particle to represent a space-time event. It is shown that there exists a conflict between this relation and the hermiticity of a positive energy position operator.
