4 days! Had to do another test after 3 days as they couldn't give me any idea of when the first results would come back, and then got both lots of results on the same day, just 20 hours after the second test.

Not drive-in but walk-in, in Luton. Three of us took tests at 7pm on Wednesday, DP and DD got their results by 2pm Thursday and i got mine at 5.30pm.

StrawberryBlossom234 · 04/10/2020 15:54

So shouldn't expect to get it before nursery opening tomorrow then

Depends when it was done. If less than 48 hours ago, then possibly not.
IncyWincyGrownUp · 04/10/2020 16:08

Walked in at 13:00 Wednesday, results came at 04:30 Friday morning.

WelcomeToGreenvale · 04/10/2020 16:08

Tested 5:30 on Monday, got the results at 6am on Wednesday!

mygrandadsvest · 04/10/2020 16:12

DD1 had a drive through test at 2.30pm yesterday and not back yet, like you am hoping to have it back before 8am which would be 41 hours.

They told me 24-48 hours so could any time. I'm very impatient and have barely put my phone down today Blush

StrawberryBlossom234 · 04/10/2020 16:59

@mygrandadsvest fingers crossed you get a negative result before 8 tomorrow

I was told it could take up to 72 hours, received result in 48 hrs.

My son had his test at 9am in Milton Keynes. His test came through the following day by text at 4.30am and by email at 9am. Hope you gets yours quickly too!

cluecu · 04/10/2020 17:16

The email came through just under 36 hours after test, which was negative. The text arrived 5 hours after the email.
