Do test results get sent out between 9am-6pm or are they sent out 24h a day? Thanks

I just wondered if I don't hear back by say, 6pm this evening will it mean I then need to wait until tomorrow morning etc?

Thank you.

No they can come at any time

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 24/12/2020 15:06

24 hrs, anytime

FiggyPuddingFiend · 24/12/2020 15:06

I received my positive result just before 6am a couple of weeks ago. So I assume they can arrive any time.

Janaih · 24/12/2020 15:07

Dh got text at 5am today (negative!)

DrunkenKoala · 24/12/2020 15:09

DP received his at 3am. Negative.

0ellenbrody0 · 24/12/2020 15:11

My DH got a result at about 10pm and I’ve had one come through at 6am (negative luckily). Good luck

FlyingFlamingo · 24/12/2020 15:12

I’ve had 2 tests (one positive, one negative), and dh and dd2 have had one each (both positive) and all of them came at 7:20pm, either the following day or 2 days later. All taken at different times of day, in Wales if that makes a difference.

DreadingSeason2020sFinale · 24/12/2020 15:12

We were tested at 11am and had the results at 6:40pm and 8pm (I was the one left hanging convinced myself I must be positive because everyone else got their negatives at once)

openupmyeagereyes · 24/12/2020 15:16

Mine came at 9:22pm, +ve. 12 hours for the result.

ScrumptiousBears · 24/12/2020 15:20

We've had a result at 1am.

ColdCottage · 24/12/2020 15:20

Super. Thanks all.

I am awaiting my result. How long did everyone elses take? I am on hour 30 now

EmeraldSpo · 24/12/2020 15:55

DD, DH and I all posted our tests 2pm on Tuesday. Tracking said they were received 9pm the same day.
DH had his results just before 6am today (negative). Still waiting on DD and I, we are the ones with symptoms too.

sweetchristmastime · 24/12/2020 15:59

Mummabear. Mine came at 34 hours yesterday

Chaotic45 · 24/12/2020 22:28

6.20am for me, 30 hours after the test.

Northernsoullover · 24/12/2020 22:31

36 hours for my son and two friends. Same area but different days.

CarryOnFestiveNamechanging · 24/12/2020 22:44

I’ve had 5 and I think they all came in the night.

Cowmilk · 25/12/2020 17:32

Ds1 got tested and the result arrived 6 something am and ds2 few weeks later arrived 3 something pm. So I assume they are working 24hr.

Lifeispassingby · 25/12/2020 17:39

I had a test last week and waited 56hrs for mine, came late at night

MaryShelley1818 · 25/12/2020 17:54

4.50am for me (negative) after 19hrs.

Tumbleweed101 · 25/12/2020 18:11

My dd did a lateral flow test this morning which had a positive result. I've had a bit of a cough start so we went to the testing station today so waiting for the results now. Fun way to spend xmas day! Luckily she tested before family came over so while my younger children are upset they can't see family it's meant we've stopped it spreading to anyone today.

ColdCottage · 28/12/2020 03:52

So in the end tested 1pm on 23rd. We got the results 11am on 25th.
