How long did it take for your test results to come back?

[Smarshian]

Went to a drive through test centre today and anxiously awaiting results so that I can get on with my life/salvage the weekend.
Tell me how king yours took to come through.

Also bonus points for area.

12 hours south west

Thanks - anyone else?!

Approx 18 hrs, south west

Yorkshire - 11 days and it came back as failed. This was early on during lockdown so hopefully things have improved now.

Oh this is giving me hope! We want to go to the zoo tomorrow with family who we haven’t seen for 6 months. Had a test today at 2pm so hoping to get the result in the morning so we can go as planned.

I posted mine. Results in around 18 hours, North West. A friend had a drive through test in Liverpool, two days ago, results in 12 hours.

What are your symptoms?

Yay this all sounds great - we are also in the north west

North West England too, 20 hours.

My son had a temperature on Thursday night (I think he’s teething). They offered us all a test when we were there.

We booked for a drive-in (Midlands). You do your own swab but they teach you and when done you hand over in a bag. 12 hours.

12 hours. Test at 3:30pm and result emailed about 3am the next morning. South East.

Drive through last week, 28 hours & 20 hours

Ah you are all giving me hope

What are your symptoms ?!

I don’t have symptoms but my son had a temp on Thursday night and they tested all of us when we arrived at the test centre

26 hours a couple of weeks ago, east.

11 hours. Tested at 7pm, results through at 6am the following morning.

Crikey ....that seems v overly cautious of your sons gp

10 hours, drive through in the North west

How is it overly cautious?! If anyone has a temp you must book a test. It’s probably not Covid but could well be and this is how we stop it spreading.
OP, we had one this morning (son with temp) and still waiting but around 80% of drive through tests come back in 24 hours. We’re also hoping to salvage the weekend but will accept our fate if not

South West a few days ago and 26 hours for result. Dh drove me there and they recommended everyone in the car also took the test so he got a test too (both negative)

That's interesting Smarshian. We only booked my son in to get a test, but when we got there they encouraged all of us to get tested anyway. I wonder if they are trying to get test numbers up!

I think it makes sense to test everyone once your there. I guess if one has it then the others might.
