test results: how long have you been waiting so far?

[yellowgladys]

96 hours (so 4 days) for us so far. Local friends have been waiting 5 days and longer. While we're home isolating, dds school bubble is still up and running, although we have been very symptomatic. Doesn't seem very safe, does it?

Since Friday at 1pm

Our local newsletter thing reckoned the wait was 92 hours on average last Tuesday. I suspect it’ll only get worse for a while and then it’ll settle when people get used to the standard September colds and feel more comfortable not reaching for a test... there’s always tons of threads on here for people ordering tests for cold symptoms, even if they don’t have the three symptoms you need to book one. That has to stop until we have more capacity.

A friend had to get her five year old tested the week before last, they got the test Tuesday and the results Sunday morning, so it’s been a wait around here for a while.

I hope your results are back soon.

Had my test at 3pm on Thursday . Got the results at 4.15pm on Friday. In North East. Demand for testing was very high I tried for days to get one.
