Just that really. Test was dropped to priority postal box yesterday. How long should we expect the results to take?

Thanks for the replies! Father in law has symptoms and waiting for the results. As they are our childcare bubble, we are now isolating. On day 6 since contact but it's driving us crazy! Thankfully father in law seems ok.
