PCR tests - how long is the turnaround at the moment?

[Frandad]

Thanks!

NHS? Went to a place in SW London at 3pm on a Sunday - got result by 10.30am on Monday (thankfully negative)

24 hrs for us this week

9am test yesterday 4am reply this morning (negative woohoo)

Posted one on Wednesday, still waiting for the results.

DS1 and DD had a test 11am Tuesday morning at a test centre, results 8am Wednesday morning.

Had mine 3pm on a Sunday and was back 6.30am Monday morning. Family members very similar

Just got one back after 21 hours

Midday test weds,result emailed 4am Thursday! But text was 7am.

Had a test at 10:30am, result back by 23:30 the same day.

This gives me hope! We had a test at 8am this morning for my feverish baby. We are meant to have multiple house viewings on our house tomorrow so really need the results back by 9am or all our hard work will be cancelled…. Last time for us was 15 hours but that was about 4 weeks ago.

Thanks everyone, hope this one will be as quick as some of yours!

20 hrs for us.

36h here, test at 9am Thursday and negative results at 2pm Friday. We usually get them back early the next morning.

Just to report back - 22 hours! Negative test result. We are in the South West.

I’m very relieved as it means we are no longer self isolating and our house viewings can go ahead!

17hours for DC, 20 for me.

Yesterday’s results have just come in, 27hours.

Someone I know yesterday, less than 10 hours turnaround time. I think it was around 8 hours.
Fingers crossed OP.

Sadly the test result from yesterday (someone I know, not me!) was positive.

@TheChosenTwo - where in the country was test taken? Not sure I have heard anyone have a result that quick!!

Guildford! It was phenomenally fast.

25 hours here, sadly a positive result. It was a boy who sat next to ds in a lesson (he's symptom free thank goodness) so now we've taken ds to have one too and are back at the beginning of the wait again. We've had to postpone our holiday, we're missing our niece's birthday, I'm absolutely gutted. We're in the South East.

Sorry to hear that it was positive @Frandad

We had a test back in 8 hours last weekend. Test at 11am and result at 6.45pm (negative thankfully)

Are the NHS 24 PCR tests with results within 24 hours free? My DH paid £99 pounds for a private one and had to wait 2 days for results... it's a complete money making racket!

Just being nosey here @CityCommuter but why did he have to pay for one?
But yes, the positive PCR test that came back in 8 hours was definitely a free one!

@CityCommuter

Our 8 hour test was an NHS one too. Walk-in (we've used them before and it's been 20h for one test, 27h for another but this one was ludicrously fast!)
