The results are probably in the Chinese press, but are being reported elsewhere

China has reported 51 new coronavirus cases including 40 asymptomatic infections, majority of them in the contagion’s first epicentre Wuhan, where over six million tests have been conducted in the last 10 days, health officials said on Monday.

So, looks like large scale testing has detected 40 cases which were asymptomatic. It looks like because they didn't have capacity in their 60 testing stations that they have been batch testing, and then going back to test a batch if positive.

Update 1-June-2020

Forbes reports that 200 asymptomatic individuals were detected with the testing so far of 6.68M people

Over the last two weeks, 6.68 million have been newly tested for the new SARS coronavirus, first discovered in the city back in December. They discovered that out of all those people, only 200 had contracted the virus but had no symptoms, meaning that just 0.002% of those newly tested this month had it and not one required hospitalization.
