Quickest time for PCR test results and where are you (roughly)

[Crunchymum]

I know noone can say for sure but just trying to manage expectations.

I've been for a few at one centre and it's about 12 hour turn around! Another and it was 4 days... I think it really depends where you go...

Wow 12 hours is amazing.

Sorry, posted too soon. 4 days not so great.

It's always been within 20 hours here.

Once was about 8 hours iirc.

(Kids, asthma, coughs, constantly going it feels!)

Last Monday I had a result within 12 hours

Husband and DS went to a drive through yesterday at 1pm. Results were sent to our phone before we woke up at 7am this morning. I was impressed!

I went for mine at 11am and had the restyles ar 1am

The Results at *

10 hours
14 for a postal one

Test done Thursday - results last night 11pm
Birmingham

11 hours yesterday from a drive through

In Devon. I've had 3.First one took three days, the next two were around 18 hours.

Took DS on Wednesday at 3pm, results at 10am following day. North Wales.

14 hrs. Last week in Kent.

I'm about to find out. Took test at 10:30am and the test centre said the tests were collected at 12 lunchtime.
Although mine was a drop in so I had to register my test over the phone when I got home so that might delay it. They said it would probably be 24hrs. I will update when I know.

I’ve sent a few children for tests in the past few weeks (work in early years And seem to be averaging a test a week through the setting) and tests have been back within 14 hours, most within 12.

I keep wondering about the variables That get the tests back quickly. Is it based on location? What time the test is taken? How far away are the labs from the test site? (I have no idea where the labs are that do the analysis?)

Test was done at 9.30am so hoping to hear something overnight.

Last one we had to do was 20 hours (same test site) so fingers crossed.

This week - about 26 hours.
One a month a go was similar.

Postal one 24 hours after posting it.

I ordered it on a Sunday night and it arrived Monday morning. Test results at 9.30am on the Tuesday.

Amazing service!

16 hours, twice, but that was overnight too.

My daughter and another child were tested at roughly the same time, but at different centres. The other child had his back in 14 hours, ours took 20.

Mine has just been exactly 24hrs.

14 hours yesterday for me (South East). Mine was at a drive through as I can't do it myself.

8 hours

26 hours in Cambridge last week
