How long for drive through test results?

Just curious how long people waited. They said within 24 hours at the place, but it’s approaching that and nothing. Is there a delay for a lot of people currently?

I got tested on Sunday at 12pm and results were back 3am Monday, maybe there are local delays?

24 hours for us but my mum had one the day after and it took 7 days so its anyones guess really.
The news does say that the labs are struggling with the volume so I wouldn't be surprised if it was slightly delayed.
I hope you hear soon

There seem to be delays everywhere atm.

Dd and I were tested at 1:30pm on Saturday, results back at 5pm on Sunday.

I was like a teenager in love checking my phone every 5 mins for the results!!

2pm yesterday - waiting still - so don't want to plan that kids are home all week - was just getting refocused on work finally and feeling productive!

14 hours last time I went. My husband had to do one 5 days later and it took 30 hours - same testing centre. So, I think it’s all over the place.

We were tested at 12:30 yesterday and waiting. In the past postal tests have taken 24 hours from returning them so I am hoping not much longer...

Yes someone I know got their results in 14 hours so I was naively optimistic. Fingers crossed not 7 days Shock

And yep I’m repeatedly checking my phone!

Nothing yet. I’m mentally writing off getting the kids to school tomorrow.

My daughter was told 24-48 hours and it came back after 52 hours. She’d been admitted to hospital, had another swab and got those results back before the original test results came back!
