Waiting for a result which I’m certain will be negative, it’s more than 24 hours since I sent it back.

I posted mine back last week on Wednesday afternoon, and got the result 7am on Friday morning.

24 hours (drive through test yesterday, results today).

I think it is hard to say without saying your area. Family of mine in Wales had theirs back in about 18 hours. Mine at a similar time took 4 days (home kit) and I know someone in my area who waited a whole week (drive through!)

Drive thru in Kent, family of 3, about 32 hours.

21 hours, Hampshire

They said results could take 72 hours so I was pretty pleased with 21.

Here in Liverpool, where we have the lateral flow pilot for random testing, it takes about 30 mins. Great service. Hope they can roll it out nationwide but I can't see how they can do that, logistically, our military isn't that big.

Possums4evr · 19/11/2020 22:46

Scotland, 13 hours

CornishTiger · 19/11/2020 22:47

Drive thru 12 noon yesterday. Results 8am this morning. Dad had only collected him from nursery at 11am yesterday very impressed.

Postal ones taking longer.

Got my results (negative) early hours this morning. Took 33 hours from time of test. The email arrived 3 hours before the text, so worth checking emails first

Cookerhood · 20/11/2020 19:13
