Waiting times for test results

We are currently waiting for test results and I'm just wondering what peoples experiences have been lately time wise?

I was tested in the summer and got my results in about 12 hours (London).

How long did you wait and roughly where are you based?

I just bumped a thread from last week asking the same thing! I'm waiting for my son's results. It's over 24 hours now but we're up north where covid is apparently rife.

We're south east, got a result in 36 hrs last weekend

kirinm · 05/11/2020 15:20

I was hoping to get them today but maybe tomorrow is more realistic.

I got tested a week today, still waiting :-( SE Hemel Hempstead. I’ve phoned 119 after 5 days and it was escalated but told I just have to wait and to self isolate for 10 days. Really worrying that this is happening, it’s dangerous and very frustrating!

Smelliethenelephant · 05/11/2020 15:52

36 hours here, Midlands

Cocolapew · 05/11/2020 15:54

N.I. Had the test at 4pm on Monday and got the results at 8am the next morning.

Does anyone know if they only text results at ‘normal’ times?
Ie 7am-8pm or could they potentially text during the night?
