Surge testing for the South Africa variant - what happened to the results?

I am wondering why these results don't seem to have been published and what is taking so long? Surely the government would have these results by now? I am thinking that no news must be bad news!

They can take up to 4 weeks to come back, and as far as I’ve heard through my job no news is good news

The overall numbers of sequenced cases are published by PHE every few days:

I live fairly close to one of the areas that was part of the first surge testing and they did not find one other case of the SA variant.
