Had a test on Friday at 9.30 in a drive through centre and still not received the results?
Can I ask if this is an abnormally long time or not?
At the centre I was told 24-48 hours??

Still no result. 72 hours later! Told nothing can be done unless it’s 5 days with no result.

Last week ours took 68 hours (just under 3 days). We were told not to chase until 5 days. It felt like a LONG time. Thankfully the results were negative!

Jrobhatch29 · 23/11/2020 16:58

Around 19hours for my DS results. Test at 1pm yesterday and recieved results 8am this morning

Is there any difference in turnaround time for +ve and -ve tests? Was hoping mine would be back within 24hrs but looking unlikely now. And I've got no bloody food in apart from some frozen waffles and an aged steak!

Thatwentbadly · 23/11/2020 17:42

10 days ago it was less than 24 hours. I was back again today with the same child and they said if you haven’t heard after 24 hours then ring the number on the card to chase up the results.

Aalvarino · 23/11/2020 17:54

Really? Where are you, @Thatwentbadly - I am greater London (just). Kind of don't want to pester the T&T folks.

Thatwentbadly · 23/11/2020 19:00

@Aalvarino I’m in the NE.

Aalvarino · 23/11/2020 19:12

Ah ok thanks. Maybe it varies by area. Only stats I can find are weekly by country.... I would usually be bothered but my kids arent with me at the moment (with dad) and cant come home until I get the all clear. This is all such a bloody pain in the ass. Although I know many have it much worse!

We got a positive and a negative test back for DS and DH at the same time - 33 hours later.
