How long did it take?

We’ve got a thread going for those of us waiting on results but it’s getting hard to track now.

If you have had a result back in the last week can you just post here with how long it took in hours?

Ive been tested twice in the last week, and got the result back in less than 24 hours both times.

34 hours - tested early Sunday, result Monday evening. Drive through, Slough. Positive.

Chaotic45 · 23/12/2020 09:17

20 hours. Tested last Wednesday.
OP of your DH is an NHS worker is there no expedited testing option? Apologies if I'm teaching grandma to such eggs but my NHS friends have access to fast turn around testing , guaranteed in 24 hours as well as additional lateral flow tests as needed.

Posted Monday lunchtime. Still waiting. London.

Boxofsaltsachets · 23/12/2020 09:23

Test collected 3pm Thurs, results arrived 6am Monday.
Get tested every week in a 24 hour window and they are collected on a Thursday afternoon. I've had results ranging from early hours Sat morning to Tuesday morning. I guess it depends on how busy that particular lab is at that time, there are probably hundreds of regular tests each week from care homes etc, then the others on top.

My sons friend just got his positive result back after 6 days. Part of community testing, so no symptoms, so he has been spreading it around for the past 6 days whilst waiting for results .

pisspants · 23/12/2020 16:01

I ordered a test Thursday lunchtime and it was delivered less than 24 hours later. I sent the test back Monday afternoon and got the results this morning.

My son tested yesterday morning at 10am and results came through at 7am this morning

Quartz2208 · 23/12/2020 17:27

Still waiting having had DH tested in London on Sunday. he is now fine (we are all fine) but if he is positive we went out for a birthday dinner in the 48 hours before his symptoms appeared. If he is positive by the time the result comes through the earliest they would be told is around 8 days after they saw him so pretty much at the end of their self isolation period which means they could have been walking around all this time with it

NattyDiamondDoll · 23/12/2020 17:30

Tested 7am Friday morning results 6pm Saturday evening
