ABSTRACT
We analyzed the impact of a 7-day recurring asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 testing protocol for all patients hospitalized at a large academic center. Forty new cases were identified with 1/3 occurring after 14 days of hospitalization. Recurring testing can identify unrecognized infections especially during periods of elevated community transmission.
