dc.description.abstract<jats:p>In response to a COVID-19 outbreak within a hospital in Singapore, a single mass swab exercise was conducted at another tertiary hospital to detect possible inter-hospital transmission. The exercise yielded no positive results, demonstrating non-targeted mass testing as an impractical strategy to track inter-hospital transmission.</jats:p>
