How long are PCR's taking now?

[Ragoo]

Just that really?

We last had one before the Indian variant reached our area and got the results back in less than 12 hours which was amazing.

DS was sent home from nursery and has had a constant temp, cough and runny nose. Me and my DM have had new sore throats with coughs.

Our area is riddled with the delta variant so we all took a PCR and have isolated together. Had our tests at 11:30 and I'm doing the anxious wait.

Ideally we have colds, I'm heavily pregnant and seem to pick up everything and anything lately. DS's nursery is a breeding ground for all kinds of germs and DM is extremely clinically vulnerable although she is fully vaccinated.

Did you wait long for your results?

28 hrs and counting. Party in full swing without us.

Watching with interest as I went for a walk through PCR this morning after a positive lateral flow test…

We did two PCR tests last week and both were back within about 12 hours. I was so impressed, especially as we're in an extremely high covid rate area. Good luck!

26 and 37 hours for me and DS this week.

Surge test at the start of the week- less than 24 hours
Test for symptoms at the end of the week - 30 hours
All negative

Tested DS Wednesday lunchtime at a drive through. At 48 hours with no news I called 119, the test hadn't been registered. I did it over the phone and got (negative) result within seconds of hanging up. Worth chasing if you don't hear quickly.

@EmmaStone I’ll be gutted if that’s happened to us. Such a pain to be waiting still (appreciate there are far worse things etc). 29.5hrs and waiting.

Typically when we did the other dc a few weeks back for a temperature it came back in less than 12 hrs - that day we wouldn’t have missed anything for the waiting.

Who picks up the postal ones? Normal postman or specialist?? Worried my mum has done her postal one wrong. I am positive (drive through) test back in 26 hours north west

Negative. 30hrs.

Negative, 13 hours

Took DD for a test yesterday morning at 9.30 and nothing yet!

Hoping the results come through in the next couple of hours 🤞🏻

Posted an at home test yesterday afternoon for 330 pm postal collection
Result texted to me at approx 630 am this morning
I'm really impressed!

Posted two pcr postal tests yesterday for a 3.30pm collection. I have just had one result back (negative). I am still waiting for mine.

Still waiting for results from a postal one 45 hours after the collection time. Had three others since September and they all came back within 28 hours or less - they were from walk through centres though so not sure if that makes a difference.

Both results now back - both negative. That’s about a 22 hour turnaround.

About 20 hours here in the SE. Both negative thankfully.

14 hours from a test at 6pm yesterday

Surge testing area

I was tested at 10am yesterday and had an email at 6am this morning. Positive sadly!
