How long did your results take? I’m wondering if labs being at full capacity means the results are taking longer to come through.

I get tested weekly due to treatment for cancer. I have yet to be given results at all. I presume they'd only contact me if it was positive and treatment couldn't go ahead.

I had the test Sunday at about 4pm, had the results (negative thankfully) yesterday at 11am.. I’m in the north west, not sure if that makes a difference at the moment.

Tested Monday and still waiting. Work won't let me return without a negative result, even once ten day isolation period is up

It's pretty worrying.... this will be a problem for preventing spread of the disease. If you test positive and you haven't isolated a persons contacts quickly then it's going to be spreading far and wide!
