Got tested today (Sunday). Wondering how long the results take in real circumstances. Scotland particularly but any where too

Following because we tested our son today and it would be good to know the average wait time.

I post mine each week and usually receive the result the following day. Occasionally been longer than 24hrs but rarely

Another follower. Got Dd1 tested today and wondering how long it will take.

Also worrying a little bit I didn't do the test right and we will have to re-take. No particular reason really just over thinking. Fingers crossed for us all the results come back quickly.

Hopefully soon we will hear. It was my daughter who is 4 that was tested. She was very very determined not to let us swab her. Eventually with a lot of struggle I got a swab but it also whacked my arm so I’m worried too we didn’t get a good enough swab. I’m sure it isn’t COVID she just has a fever no other symptoms but thought we need to test just in case.

I got my 6 year old tested on Thursday (Gloucestershire) tested at 1.30 pm, we were the only people there, results back at 3am.
So, 13and 1/2 hours. Pretty good!

Had an email about 5.30. Negative here. Dd had her test around 2.30 yesterday so a quick response.

Hope everyone hears soon.

My txt came through a few minutes ago also.

Longjohn33 · 26/04/2021 11:07

My text came through at 7am so definitely worth checking emails too.
