Took test in London on Monday at 12:00pm, still no results. How long have people waited so far?

Yorkshire. Test last Thursday back in under 24 hours. Another test same site on Sunday took more than 48 hours.

DebbieFiderer · 30/09/2020 20:23

Got ours at 4.30 which was 51 hours

Monday pm, drive through test, still waiting..... Actually relived to hear everyone else is too, I wondered if it was lost!

Tested on Tuesday afternoon and had the results through earlier (negative) so about a 33 hours wait.

DC tested this morning at drive through, result came back about 10.30pm which seems like record time! (Negative too, phew!)

South west London. Tested last Thursday morning, got the (negative) result 2am Friday so around 18 hours!!!

@allblankittyblank did yours come yet? We are still waiting. I think my boss thinks I'm making it up now. 70 hours i think it must be now.

Palmtree76 · 01/10/2020 09:03

Called 119 this morning and on the phone they advise the max is 48 hrs for drive through testing and 72 for at home lits. For me it will be 72 hours since my drive through test on Monday at 12pm. They’re too busy to take calls so we have to just isolate until they turn up. Great!

@Fiddlersgreen I did mine in Twickenham on Monday- I’m still waiting!

@Palmtree76 that’s where I went. Couldn’t believe how quickly the results came back.
Sorry you are waiting so long!

Palmtree76 · 01/10/2020 10:00

@Fiddlersgreen that’s insane. We went to the same site just 4 days apart and I’ve been waiting triple the time you did? Madness isn’t it!

Had test at 12 on Sunday, results 24 hours later. Looks like I was lucky!

Lolita89 · 01/10/2020 10:15

West Yorkshire here - test on Monday and result exactly 24 hours later, seems we were lucky to get the result so quickly

tartiflette · 01/10/2020 10:19

17 hours (South Yorkshire) - negative thankfully.

Do I get a prize? Star

Still waiting....Monday afternoon. I don’t want to moan about the system too much..I know it’s under pressure. But it’s also a bit crazy? Child saw GPs on Friday. Symptoms on Sunday. They are aware he’s had a test and don’t go anywhere anyway. However if it is positive-I presume track and trace would contact them to say as they saw him 48 hours before they need to isolate. However this was a week ago-they could have beenon public transport all week! (They haven’t).

MaddieElla · 01/10/2020 10:50

Test yesterday at 1pm. Result this morning at 9.30! Well impressed.

blankittyblank · 01/10/2020 10:54

I'm also still waiting, from 11am on Monday! Went to a walk in centre in Essex. The kids will have been at home for a full week at this rate! Finger crossed we get them back today

Zooforhouse · 01/10/2020 11:15

Oh also Essex!

Whirlwind14 · 01/10/2020 11:16

Tested 2pm yesterday, back at 945am today! Negative!

Anyone been to the test Center at Rainham? How long did it take?

IHateCoronavirus · 01/10/2020 17:15

Ours was four days NW drive through

MrsWildermac · 01/10/2020 17:24

Care home employee on weekly testing - still haven't received test results from last week, or the week before and had another test today...
