how long did you covid test take to come back?

[Scottishmum1984]

Been waiting around 36 hours in Scotland, haven't heard of one taking so long recently. Anyone else waiting longer? I'm worried it's got lost.

Background - my kids are with their dad until my test comes back so they don't have to self isolate and I miss them!

Thanks!

It's awful waiting isn't it. Our tests were 28 hours ago (East Lothian) and I'm hoping to hear something overnight. Fingers crossed you get a result soon.

Overnight, less than 24h. Took the test in the morning, got the results by 7am next day. Midlothian.

Everyone seems to say 12 hours to me! I was starting to panic they lost mine.

I'm Edin

Same! We’ve had about 8 tests, all come back in around 12 hours. This one, 27 hours and counting. This was the first we’ve done that wasn’t the airport, but Drumbrae.

I sent mine and my daughters in the post yesterday afternoon. Daughter got her positive result back first thing this morning (positive)

I've still not received mine.

I’m in England. Mine have all come back at 6am the next day regardless of what time they were done.

24 hrs for us in fife

Fingers crossed for you they are negative x

24 hours a couple of weeks ago. In England though.

Last week my daughter's was less than 24hours so very quick.

thanks everyone. I'm wondering if there is a bit of a delay. I went to a walk in clinic and it was v busy, even for 9am. And it wasn't a big centre, it was in the south of the city in quite a quiet bit.

Few weeks ago was 11 hours and that was drive through

26 hours, got my results af 1pm after testing yesterday at 11am

Got mine back at 6 am. Negative, thankfully. OP is yours back yet?

We had one at 11am yesterday, results emailed at 3am this morning, text message arrive just before 7am

I was thinking mine was taking a long time the other week, I decided the quicker ones must have been when they went to a drive through centre whereas I used the normal post. My post collection would have been about 5pm and we got results sometime over night of the following day, so about 35 - 40 hours.

6 days - eventually turned out they'd lost it. Took another 24 hours to result. This was a couple of weeks ago. We were advised to phone if you hadn't heard after 3 days by one of the test centre doctors (I think the official advice is after 5 day but he said it shouldn't take that long)

Less than 24 hours but was inconclusive so think maybe they lost it

Need to do another one

Yes - mine took 48 hours but was negative thankfully!

Can get my kids back 🙏

Son tested at 8am on Monday. Results back 7am on Tuesday so plenty of time to get kids ready for school after day of self isolating

I sent one off for my son on Thursday morning and still not heard back! It stressing me out as I've missed 2 days of work now and due in today as well. Every phone notification has me grabbing for my phone like a mad woman.

I had a PCR test at a walk in the last week. Had it at 1pm, got the result by text the next day at 3pm.

(I'm in a high numbers area in the North of England)
