I feel fine but have started with a cough. Sod's law as I had plans for Monday.
I went for a drive through test today.
How long did your test take to come back after administration?
Thanks

I went for a test at a drive through last Sunday at 10.30 am. I had the result by email at 10.00 pm that night, so less than 12 hours.

Had mine at 7pm on Thursday result was texted 4pm yesterday - at the test centre they said it would be back within 24 hours (negative also have slight cough but no other symptoms)

I had a test at 9am today and the result ( negative) came through by 7pm which is incredible. I also had a test ( inconclusive results) on Thursday and those results were back in just under 24 hours.

Test last Saturday 11.45am and result back at 8pm

Ah. Good. Although maybe not with it being Sunday tomorrow.
I could really do without having to alter plans for the whole family but obviously will if it is positive or not back on time.

We were very unlucky - it took 17 days for our tests to come back!!

Ouchjuststoodonlego · 11/07/2020 21:56

We are in one of the areas of the country that has a higher rate at the moment too.

11 hours for us, text came through at 6am. It was surprisingly efficient!

heysugar · 11/07/2020 23:22

Mine was about 16 hours, the first was 26 hours. Pleasantly surprised.
