Well, the result of the diagnostic test could cause harm (panic, unnecessary treatment, people not quarantined when they should be) if it was not accurate enough, but they should probably fast track something given the circumstances.

You know what causes greater panic? An outbreak that only to the attention of the media when corpses start piling up at the hospital, all because an undetected cluster wasn't identified when it was starting.
You may be right, but I think that's a call for medical professionals to make. I do hope they fast track things without unnecessary delay, though.
