How long did your results take? I’m wondering if labs being at full capacity means the results are taking longer to come through.

Monday morning. Still waiting

I get tested weekly due to treatment for cancer. I have yet to be given results at all. I presume they'd only contact me if it was positive and treatment couldn't go ahead.

Elephxnt · 09/09/2020 15:03

I had the test Sunday at about 4pm, had the results (negative thankfully) yesterday at 11am.. I’m in the north west, not sure if that makes a difference at the moment.

EDSGFC · 09/09/2020 15:04

Tested Monday and still waiting. Work won't let me return without a negative result, even once ten day isolation period is up

FreeButtonBee · 09/09/2020 15:06

I am doing the vaccine trial so swab weekly. Did it on Friday and have only just got the results back so they are defo backed up.

Mummyto3gorgeousgirlies · 09/09/2020 15:09

It's pretty worrying.... this will be a problem for preventing spread of the disease. If you test positive and you haven't isolated a persons contacts quickly then it's going to be spreading far and wide!

Goldrill · 09/09/2020 15:13

Monday morning. Still waiting!

gingerfreckles · 09/09/2020 15:23
