Are positive test results sent in a text?

The same way a negative result is sent? Or do they call?

I’d like to know this too. I had a test on Monday and still heard nothing. I’m wondering if maybe positive tests take longer to get back to you

Text and email.

I received my positive 7 hours before DH and DDs received their negative.

Thanks.

We have had one negative result via text.

Waiting on the 2 remaining results.

We tested at 3pm yesterday.

It can take up to 4 days apparently. I’m on the 4th day and still no results

If you've been waiting longer than expected give the test centre a ring. Happened to my friend - it turned out they had her results, but there was some issue with her registration that meant they hadn't been able to contact her.
