Drive through test

20 replies

aceofbase1 · 23/07/2020 09:19

I had a drive through test last night and it did say results within 2 days but I'm feeling nervous and just want to know either way whether I'm self isolating for a long period or not.

Obviously I'll be at home until I get results either way. Anyone who had one did the results come back any quicker than the suggested two days or did you wait even longer?

My DD came back in 26 hours

I had the test at 9.30 and results arrived the same day at 19.30!

My DP's came back in less than 24 hours.

24 hours- for my DD last week so by the time I'd sorted deliveries for next two weeks etc it was back and we could all go out!

I had a test at 7:30pm (took about 15 mins start to finish between getting it in the bucket) and had the results at 10am next morning. Not long at all. You may be surprised.

Had a test at 8:30am, results in at 9:30pm same day.

Mine came back before the 48 hours. I had it done as part of a clinical trial though so I wasn't isolating while waiting for it

Meredithgrey1 · 23/07/2020 10:40

DD's came back in about 27 hours

I'm in the same boat, I had mine at 10.30am today and my already sky high anxiety is now in orbit! I have done it for peace of mind as I'm pretty sure its not Covid, but better to be safe than sorry....(I have a mild tickly cough every 20 minutes or so and I do suffer with hayfever so I have my fingers tightly crossed)

DappledOliveGroves · 23/07/2020 11:41

Had a test on Monday at 1pm, got the results 4am Tuesday (I have insomnia so was reading my phone when they came through!)

whatswithtodaytoday · 23/07/2020 11:55

I'm waiting to hear - had a test around 2pm yesterday, nothing yet. I feel very anxious!

booboo24 · 23/07/2020 12:03

Fingers crossed for all of us then that we get answers quickly (and negative results)

whatswithtodaytoday · 23/07/2020 17:19

Negative! Phew 😊

booboo24 · 24/07/2020 05:11

Negative, came through at 4am. That's good @whatswithtodaytoday Smile

Shopaholic100 · 25/07/2020 02:18

My result just came through now, negative thankfully. The test was at 8am. Looks like they’re working 24 hours.

Crosswithlifeatm · 25/07/2020 02:38

Depends where you are in the country.All tests are taking 48 hrs here.

Namechangex10000 · 25/07/2020 02:43

I had my test today - I feel bloody awful and like you just frustrated as want to know either way!!! Holding results will come in quicker than 2 days!

Verite1 · 25/07/2020 04:06

12 hours for results

booboo24 · 25/07/2020 08:47

I was told that officially it takes up to 48 hours but at the moment they're taking about 12-24. Mine took 18 hours

user1493494961 · 25/07/2020 15:10
