We had to take DD to a drive through test centre today because she was sent home from nursery with a temperature.
How long do the results normally take to come back? I know it says they aim for 48 hours but it also says it can take 5 days. Have other people found it to be more like 5 days than 2?
Also, is it just a negative or a positive test result you can get, or can you get invalid? DD is only 12 months and obviously the instruction to swab her throat without the swab touching any other part of her mouth was pretty impossible to carry out. Does that mean we'll get an invalid result? I don't really know why they say they'll test babies that young, because I don't see how you'd properly do it. Combined with the equally impossible instruction to blow her nose before putting the swab up, it seems pointless to test her.
