How long is everyone waiting for test results? Was tested in the north east last night wondering when to hear back.

As per my other thread I did a test as part of research which was collected Wednesday by courier but no results yet...

Pechanga · 10/01/2021 19:14

About 30 hours (negative result...I feel positive results are notified with more urgency) As those I know who tested positive heard much sooner (could be coincidence though)

Partner did his test on Thursday 5PM. Got positive result back this morning (sunday) about 10am!

This week we've had 12 hours, 28 hours and one that didn't come back after 48 hours so phoned up and they'd somehow lost the contact details attached to it (no idea how as received the confirmation of the test and barcode through text and email), once details were updated it took about 5 minutes to come through

I agree! Seen lots of people saying positives have been back under 20 hours!

Was this at a test centre or home test?

I got a test in north east yesterday morning. Not heard anything back yet.

Drive is test centre yesterday at 9am, just got positive result back this second.

PandaBear89 · 11/01/2021 06:42

Was tested at a drive in centre yesterday morning and got results back late last night.

That was me, another adult and kids.

Thankfully negative. Was surprised how busy it was there!

They told me three days for results so we have only had to isolate two days.

PandaBear89 · 11/01/2021 06:42

Saturday morning not yesterday morning!

Brain fog!

Elking18 · 11/01/2021 08:58

My husband was tested Saturday midday and we are still waiting, nearly 48 hours!
