How long are results taking?

If you had a test in the last week have you got the results yet?

The staff at testing centre said within 48 hours but online it says 72 hours and some as much as 5 days.

Test at 9am yesterday. Results at 6am today.

My son had a test at 3pm and the results were emailed at 4.17am the next day. I was really pleased with the speed of results.

That sounds good, my son's postal test was slow to get here but if we can both get results by Sunday that would be great.

My son tested on the Monday at 10:30 and he received the result on the Wednesday around 1pm.

I posted a test last Thursday and got the results back on Tuesday pm

Posted on Wednesday. It was received by Thursday AM. Haven't heard anything yet. Hoping by the end of the weekend. I now have snot and cold symptoms so hoping negative.

Posted Tuesday result back at 5 today . Not as bad as I thought it would be .

Paranoidmarvin · 11/09/2020 18:19

Posted Tues afternoon and still waiting for results...

SellFridges · 11/09/2020 20:03

Tested Tuesday at 12 at a mobile centre. Results arrived across yesterday across 12 hours despite testing all at the same time. Postal seem to be taking longer.

Chosennone · 11/09/2020 20:39

Posted on Friday last week and still no results, have rung 3 times....

They really need to sort this out if they are ever going to roll out Moonshite

icklekid · 11/09/2020 21:11

2 tests posted Tuesday that I know of neither have results back yet 😫

user1471530109 · 11/09/2020 21:14

Drive through yesterday at 2pm. Nothing so far so I'm gutted to read others were tested after and received results earlier today. Especially as I'm so confident we've just got heavy colds (although youngest dd has a very nasty cough).

MooseBeTimeForSummer · 11/09/2020 21:25

Wow. Five day wait here for a test and around 12 days for the results (I’m in Northern Canada).

LittleRen · 12/09/2020 08:18

Our results came through at 3am - all negative.. so around 36 hours

1happyhippie · 12/09/2020 08:21

We test weekly at work, the results were coming back within 2 days, since last week some are taking longer.
Up to four days for some

Rainyrain · 12/09/2020 08:48

We test weekly at work, have done since June. Back then the results were taking a maximum of 48 hours. The more recent ones are taking anything up to 7 days. This week my results took 3 days
