Just that really. How long did you have to wait for the results if you have tested in the last week or so?

Week before last through a walk through centre in Sheffield. 66 hours from the point of test to results coming through. Wait of 24 hours for test availability.

MyGhastIsFlabbered1 · 19/09/2020 08:32

Mine and my daughters were back within 24hrs.
I am still waiting for my husband's. We are now on day 4 of waiting. Even though we were all in the same car. I'm fucking pissed off as we can't leave the house and I can't go to work. What an absolute shambles.

Test (postal) Tuesday morning 10am (post collected 4.45pm). Arrived at test centre 6am Wednesday. Result 8.30am Friday.

Test (drive through) Thursday 9am (different child!!). Result 6am Friday.

DaphneFanshaw · 19/09/2020 08:42

We found getting the tests hard.
My ds was sent home from school on Monday, we managed to get a test Wednesday and got the results around 26 hours later.
Which meant we managed to go back to work and school Friday.
We are in the SE.

teenagetantrums · 19/09/2020 08:43

I get tested every Thursday. Normally get the results on Sunday evening.

HipHopBanzai · 19/09/2020 08:44

4 days following a test at a drive through centre last weekend.

AndAnotherUsername · 19/09/2020 08:47

4 hours from requesting a test to the test itself. A further 30 hours for results. South East.

Cookerhood · 19/09/2020 08:50

Posted Tuesday lunchtime, received at lab 7am Wednesday, results 6am Friday.

bootsandcats · 19/09/2020 08:50

We had a drive-in test last Saturday at 12.30pm and received the results on Monday 10 am, so just under 48 hours.

MaryBoBary · 19/09/2020 08:52

Tested at drive through 2 weeks ago, results took 33 hours from testing.

JackieJormpJormp4 · 19/09/2020 08:57

DS was tested at 12pm on Wednesday and he had the results at 8.15am the following morning.

justfinefornow · 19/09/2020 08:59

Took 56hrs to find a test and the 60hrs to get the results. Very frustrating.

HughGrantsHair · 19/09/2020 09:01

52 hours from it being collected from the priority postbox.

ClinkyMonkey · 19/09/2020 09:01

15 hours - that was last week though. I was impressed and very grateful for quick turnaround.
