ONS Covid survey participants

[Handsnotwands]

we've Always had our results back quickly, except on one occasion back in the summer when we did have covid (confirmed by home test) but never did receive our results that month

anyway, this time I’ve been covid-y but hadn’t confirmed with a home test so was interested to see if I actually had had it again. We’ve had DC and DHs results (they hadn’t been ill when I was and were negative) but not mine

is there a correlation between actually being positive and not getting your results? Not sure how that could occur but it has made me wonder.

Bumpity bump

Yes when we were covid positive in July the test results definitely took longer than usual- am not sure why. By the time we had them back we were testing negative again. But

I'm on the study as well. I don't think there's any correlation but for the past six months results have been pretty random on coming back. I haven't received the results from this month at all. Are you still receiving the vouchers?
We're also late on receiving this months test kit. Can only assume they're short staffed?

Our results have been pretty regular except these two occasions which is what made me wonder but I can’t think why it wouldn’t be samples / test / send results. It’s not like they would be separating out the positives post testing and sending the results after that I suppose.

yes we still get vouchers. They did ask if we’d like to decline but they keep us fed basically 😂

Are they delayed in the post? Or they have fewer people working in the labs (perhaps the train strikes meant they couldn’t get to work)?

They’re emailed crucru. Usually one email arrives for each participant all together at the same tine

DH and DC came through as usual. Mine did not

Ah, sorry - I was thinking of your test sample (which does get posted).
