Starting on February 12, in the Hubei province only, a trained medical professional can classify a suspected case of COVID-19 as a clinically confirmed case on the basis of chest imaging, rather than having to have a laboratory confirmation.

This allows clinicians to move and report cases more quickly - not having to wait for lab confirmation - ensuring that people get adequate care faster and also allowing for public health responses - such as contact-tracing - to be initiated.

This suggests a problem with testing.
