It was 15 hours for us last week on a few occasions. May have got longer as demand has gone up. Depends per area too.

So from a recent thread I was on it varies wildly from the best at 6 hours (with an on site processing unit) to over 50 hours 🤦🏻‍♀️

My daughters on Thursday morning took 23 hours - negative

Now waiting on other daughter (hopefully same bug) tested at 9.30 this morning.
