Objective: To compare universal severe acute respiratory syndrome coronvirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) testing to symptomatic testing at two large academic centers.

Study Design: We performed a retrospective cohort study comparing the approach to testing at two academic centers in Northeast Ohio. The study period started with the inception of symptomatic testing for SARS-CoV-2 at both institutions in March 2020.
