It would be great if we knew at what point in this process people are typically “confirmed as having COVID-19”, for modeling the lag between time of infection and time of diagnosis.
Do people only get “confirmed” after they’ve been admitted to a hospital?

I think it varies by country. My impression is that for the US you have to be very ill, but Korea is doing drive by testing.
