If you've had a covid test this week, how long for the results?

[Guntor]

Just that really. I'm waiting on a covid test result - days and days after I was told it would be "about 24hrs"

• yes I've rang the helpline, they couldn't tell me anything.
• my contact details are correct, I've checked that too.

If you've had a test sometime in the last couple of weeks, how long did it take for your results to come through?

It depends entirely on your area. However I waited 3 days once then rang helpline and it turns out my test hadn't registered somewhat.

I've passed the three day mark, I rang up and they said that the barcode had been registered but could tell me no more.

I have done 2 in the last ten days due to quarantine.
First one I posted on Sat afternoon and got result Monday evening.
Second one I posted first post Thursday and got result back early evening Friday.
They both went to the lab in Cambridge which I know works 24 hours, local labs may take longer if they aren't working around the clock

Tested last Friday afternoon. Had results early Saturday morning, just under 12 hours later. I was really surprised at how quickly it came through!

Mine was 13 hours. They told me I could contact them if I hadn’t heard back in five days

DP had a home-test picked up this week, result three days later. We’re East Midlands.

I'm on my 3rd day and still waiting I just thought it may have been busier than normal, but I may ring the helpline tomorrow just to double check

Home test ordered last Sat
Arrived, taken and posted Sunday
Result (negative) 4pm Monday.

London

(Have had Hell with previous test so was happily impressed!!)

It was done at a drive through test site so I left the test there with them, no posting.

DD had one 11am Tuesday ... results were back at midnight that night.

21 hours and 16 hours here this week. Sounds like you’ve been very unlucky or it’s gone missing. Can you get another test?

4 1/2 days wait, tested Wednesday first thing, just got the result now.
I rang 119 this morning and they were very nice, but useless.
It's frustrating isn't it?

@Guntor to be honest I'd book another. Sounds like it's disappeared. Mine came through in under 24 hours and a postal one I did was back in 48 hours

16 hours.

I posted yesterday 11am got the result 10am today

Various tbh, have one weekly through work, mostly 30ish or so hours later so test Thursday, results sat morning, one week it actually took 6 whole days to get the result!!(feb) this week I had mine back this afternoon so abit longer than the past couple of weeks by half a day

19 hours last week, I was pleasantly surprised.

10 hours, test at 2.30pm and then results via email just after midnight.

Sorry yours have taken so long, very frustrating.

@Guntor have you heard yet?

Test Friday morning and results Friday evening. Was amazed.
