Do you know how they were tested?

By having a blood sample taken (the classic way), or was this one of the new quick-tests that the German Wikipedia article mentions?

The OP said they were in Wuhan in November when they got the flu.

It would make sense for the doctor not to know what it was at that time. Covid-19 wasn’t a concern until January.

We didn’t have these quick tests until ~February.
