Anyone in the southeast who's done a test over the last few days, how quickly did you get your results? Last few we've done have come back in 12-18 hours so this feels like it's taking ages in comparison!

Mine has just come through. Drive through in Surrey and it took 13 hours exactly. Thankfully it was negative.

I posted mine Saturday lunchtime, haven't had a response yet.

@DelphiniumBlue Same, although DH did too and has his results this morning which were neg, not so hopeful for DD as she has positive LF test. Hopefully not too much longer this waiting is driving me nuts.

West Sussex - 36 hours

DelphiniumBlue · 06/07/2021 21:16
