aPhysicians 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12, and 18 from Table 1 were included in the Table 2 analyses.

bDenominator for sensitivity = number of patients attended by eight physicians who uploaded their TraceTogether data and had a work shift between 8:30 AM on May 12, 2020 and 8:30 AM on May 13, 2020.

cDenominator for specificity = number of patients attended by other physicians in the same work shift between 8:30 on May 12, 2020 and 8:30 AM on May 13, 2020.

dLR+: Positive Likelihood Ratio; LR+ = sensitivity/(1 − specificity).

eLR−: Negative Likelihood Ratio; LR− = (1 − sensitivity)/specificity.
