And what time of the day did you receive the results?

I'd have got tested yesterday evening, but our local mass testing site doesn't have appoinment slots after 1pm!

DS was tested at 8am. His results came back at 7pm that night. This was last week in London.

I did one a couple of weeks ago. Test at lunchtime, results when I woke up the next morning. They came at 6am.

Wimpund21 · 22/06/2021 21:42

Ds1 was tested 9.30am Monday morning. Results came back that evening about Midnight.

ScarlettDarling · 22/06/2021 21:42

Dd had hers at 12.30 last Thursday and got the results about 3pm the next day.

bananamonkey · 22/06/2021 21:43

Test at 12, results at 6am the next day. To be fair it was the same at Christmas and a few months ago.

HunkyPunk · 22/06/2021 21:43

Ds tested lunchtime yesterday. Result came back today mid-morning.

woodfort · 22/06/2021 21:48

Both recent ish ones (one a few weeks a go and one about 6 weeks a go) took 26 hours. London.

Lougle · 22/06/2021 21:49

DD1 tested at 08:30, results at Midnight.

19 hours from putting in the post box. I did a postal one as I asked to do it by the Zoe app so not needing to isolate. About 48 hours from ordering it.

yossell · 22/06/2021 21:52

Test at 10am, result at 5am next morning.

DrMadelineMaxwell · 22/06/2021 21:58

Thanks. Got the test done early doors at 8am when they opened this morning, so I'll keep my phone on loud in case we get a message with the results in the night then. DH twitchy about whether he'll be able to return to work tomorrow and is hoping for results sooner rather than later.

Thatswatshesaid · 22/06/2021 22:33

Test 8.30 am. Result 11.30 am next day. They do warn you it can be up to 72 hours.

NoliteTeBastardesCarborundorum · 22/06/2021 22:44

Test 2.30pm (drive through), results 6am the next morning.

Littleone638 · 23/06/2021 06:37

My daughter was tested Monday AM received results 1am Tuesday, so roughly 16 hours. I don’t know how much of a difference it makes but the test centre we went to is only open in the mornings.

noscoobydoodle · 23/06/2021 06:40

Previous 3 tests from a drive through have been back in under 12 hours. Tested early afternoon and results back between midnight and 2am.

LillethCrane · 23/06/2021 07:18

Monday this week I tested at 9am, got results exactly 12 hours later.
