We will argue that within the scale of non-locality, Schwarzschild-type singular metric solution is not permissible. Therefore, Schwarzschild-type vacuum solution which is a prediction in Einstein-Hilbert gravity may not persist within the region of non-locality. We will also show that just quadratic curvature gravity, without infinite derivatives, always allows Schwarzschild-type singular metric solution.engBlack holesInfinite derivative gravityjournal article10.1103/PhysRevD.98.064023
