Tested at 3pm friday. Still waiting.

Yes but was done through private healthcare as part of pre op assessment. I assumed they use the same labs but perhaps not.

Yes. Ds tested on Friday morning and had the results 8am on Saturday.

UpToonGirl · 13/09/2020 17:26

This is just shit Sad I mean thanks for sharing... but I'm just feeling so annoyed at how this whole testing situation is playing out. I feel like workplaces are going to be so pissed at employers having so much time off for testing when they have to wait for results for so long.

Home test sent Thurs, received Fri AM - still waiting.

We know of others locally who sent postal tests Weds and received results this morning so hoping it will be tomorrow.

Ohsoverytired11 · 13/09/2020 19:37

Just got it back now! Negative

covetingthepreciousthings · 13/09/2020 19:52

@Ohsoverytired11 was it a postal test? Glad it was negative Smile

Zarahaider88 · 13/09/2020 19:56

Arghhh still waiting here! I was hoping my little boy could go back to school tomorrow! He had 3 half days at reception then was off the whole of last week

hollybolly · 13/09/2020 20:00

We did a home test Wednesday, received by the lab Thursday received results 6am this morning. I don't think it's usual that you're still waiting!

Still waiting here too 2:15 on Friday went to drive through nhs priority clinic run by our Trust for DS who had temp and new continuous cough, but nothing yet. DS who was tested is now a lot better (apart from remaining cough) but both DS's are off school until we get negative result, and I'm unable to do my patient facing role until the result comes back :(

withgraceinmyheart · 13/09/2020 20:26

We had one on Friday afternoon and still waiting too.
