How long did it take to get test results?

If you booked a covid test via the government website or 119 and went to a drive-in test centre in the last couple of weeks, how long did it take before your results came through?

6pm test. Results 6pm next day.

Murraymintal · 03/10/2020 15:10

Waiting here for the results of a test from 6pm last night and it seems eternal!

Tested lunch time Tuesday, still waiting. I hope you have better luck than we have had. I am slowly going insane!

I had a test Thursday morning and got my result today - 48 hrs.
(negative)

purplecup · 03/10/2020 15:15

18 hours

I had a test yesterday morning at 10.30am. I’m still waiting also and feeling very on edge. Can’t imagine I will hear until tomorrow though. Good luck with your results!

I had a test at drive through centre at 4.30 Tuesday afternoon and got the (negative) result at 9.10 yesterday (Friday) evening. I think I was unlucky as most people I know have had results within 48 hrs. The wait was excruciating though.

Murraymintal · 03/10/2020 15:37

Mmm, quite variable then.
They said 24-48 hours so I was hoping it might be today, but looks unlikely. I must try to stop thinking about it constantly!

I hope those of you still waiting I feel your pain and hope you get your (negative) results very soon.

OublietteBravo · 03/10/2020 18:52

DS was tested yesterday at 08:30. We’re still waiting for his results.

BingeOnChocolate · 03/10/2020 21:47

Tested Wednesday and still nothing. We had to do ours postal though as no center near us unless I drove 80 miles.

PurpleBirch · 03/10/2020 21:54

Results just in after 11am test at drive through yesterday so approx 34 hours later.

OublietteBravo · 03/10/2020 22:17

38 hours since the test. Still no results

LethargicLumpOfLockdownLard · 03/10/2020 22:21

4 days!

Elzbells · 03/10/2020 22:22

Test at 12.30 Wed, results 5am Thursday morning

Confuzzlediddled · 03/10/2020 22:24

2 of us were tested, one weds and one Thurs, both results came in 30 hours

Murraymintal · 03/10/2020 22:57

It’s interesting to the differences in processing time.

Double good news here- results came back at 9pm and they were negative! So 27 hours from test to result here.

Wishing you all speedy negatives Smile

Just over 24 hours here. Went to a walk in test centre. Positive result.

Took my mum a week to get her home test results back a few weeks ago. Was negative.

OublietteBravo · 04/10/2020 09:50

Negative result at 06:30 this morning. It took 46 hours. Which seemed like a really long time.

user34254356 · 04/10/2020 10:12

Are these all for London?

Lemoncordial · 04/10/2020 10:20

Still waiting, it's been 48 hours.

Confuzzlediddled · 04/10/2020 13:13
