Yep, I'm wondering the same thing.
With the sheer number of pharmaceutical companies jumping on this opportunity and desperately trying to be the first to market with a test, treatment or a vaccine, we the public absolutely need to know the efficacy of whatever is proposed. Especially in light of the fact that the FDA is currently under enormous deregulatory pressure.

I think the numbers I saw earlier today were 95% sure for negative and well over 99% sure for positive, but I can't find that source back anymore. Numbers for this specific virus would be poorly understood, but ought to be similar to the numbers for other viruses.
