My wife's result took nine days to turn up. We'd long since assumed they were lost!

Smellbellina · 05/10/2020 22:08

Today was day 9, still nothing.
119 aren’t taking calls to chase results.

Bagelsandbrie · 05/10/2020 22:08

Dh had the test at 2pm and the results were back the next day at 9am.

JustBumblingAlong · 05/10/2020 22:11

13 hours, got tested at 9am this morning and got the results email at 10pm. In the North West.

HappyAsLarry65 · 06/10/2020 00:35

17 hours. I was told with 48 hours when I took the test at 2:30 and awoke to result by text at 7:22 next morning.

Seeline · 06/10/2020 16:43

Just got mine back - 75 hours. Negative. So that was a waste of 4 days.

tubbycustard1 · 06/10/2020 16:52

We were tested at Bristol airport yesterday at 10am, really hoping the results are back by tomorrow morning. Everyone I know personally who has been tested has had negative results in approx 12 hours or less, so now I've convinced myself that the reason it's taking longer is because it's positive! Hmm

We're still waiting - test was done at 10am on Saturday morning. Utterly ridiculous. Glad you got a negative though Seeline

41 hours.

Babyroobs · 06/10/2020 17:52

Exactly 24 hours for my dd's this morning.

PandaPopz · 06/10/2020 18:07

Had mine done in Slough on August 31st at midday. Negative result by text and e-mail at 7.10 AM in the morning, September 1st.

sheepisheep · 06/10/2020 18:38

4 days. Drive in on the Wirral 2 weeks ago. My colleagues have had the same.
So unbelievably frustrating.

Dartsplayer · 06/10/2020 18:44

It's finally arrived after 80 hours!! Negative

Augustbreeze · 06/10/2020 18:45

It's NOT a waste tontest if it turns out to be negative, you've done the right thing!

Mine took 40 hrs, East Mids not Leics.

LilLilLu · 06/10/2020 19:18

Dh was tested at 5pm Saturday results came in today at 3pm. Negative thank goodness, we can all go back to school/work tomorrow Smile

Mushypeasandchipstogo · 06/10/2020 19:20
