How long have you waited for your results.

Just that really. I was tested yesterday morning at a drive through testing centre and now awaiting the results.

I was tested Saturday in work as part of testing in the care sector and haven’t heard anything yet (wales so not sure if that makes a difference)

I'm in Suffolk and a care worker, 3 days by home test. Other careers that went to a centre results back in a day or two.

I was tested at work on Thursday. Results back today.

@teenagetrantums I take it that you and your colleagues were tested? How did you get on? I’m hearing horror stories about asymptotic positives in their droves

My result was emailed to me at 10:30pm last night and followed up with a text this morning. Negative, hurrah! That was 36 hours after being tested.

I'm an NHS nurse. Reported potential symptoms on Friday morning, got a call from testing team within 2 hours. They came to my home to test me Saturday afternoon and I got my negative result (which I was 100% sure would be negative) on Sunday afternoon.

I was tested on Wednesday and had the results on Friday. Negative.

Also in the care sector and we all got tested at work and we had our results 2 days later. Every single resident and member of staff tested negative.

I can’t wait to have the antibody test to see if any of us have had it because I believe it was in the home in the beginning. We had staff with symptoms, residents with symptoms and a high number of ‘pneumonia’ deaths in the space of a few weeks. One member of staff was hospitalised with it. I’m really hoping it’s already been and gone because I don’t think I would mentally be able to cope with that again!

Test took three days to arrive, was collected on Saturday afternoon, still waiting for results. It was a random sampling one so I don't know whether it has lower priority or something.
I'm back to school next week and I was thinking why don't they test us all before we go in, but if these are the kind of timescales then obviously it's not going to be workable.
