Hiya, how long are results taking lately? It's been a good few months since I last had to test. Thanks

Wasn’t cheap though Angry

We had quite a few tests between us the last fortnight and had the results back in 12-18 hours.

Crunchymum · 15/07/2021 14:41

Went to walk through for 9.30am on Monday and results 3am into Tuesday, so about 18 hours. We are central London.

IamBitzyVonMuffling · 15/07/2021 17:06

Thanks everyone. Went this morning at about 11 so hopefully will hear something tomorrow.

We did ours yesterday morning and still not heard. It was very busy at the test centre.

MaintainingPositivity · 15/07/2021 17:33

One took less than 24hours, the other is 'lost'!

Rung four times and am waiting for yet another call back, test was taken 4 days ago by the time we have the result isolation will be over Hmm

PandemicAtTheDisco · 15/07/2021 17:36

They're taking longer at the moment as so busy.

Just got results - one positive and one negative.

mindutopia · 15/07/2021 17:50

Did one on Sunday 11am and results came back Monday at about 1pm. I was told to expect results in 2-3 days though, which was the longest I've ever been told. I expect they are very busy but with reduced capacity.

newbieho · 15/07/2021 17:52

Just over 24 hours.

Hi,

Previously I have always done mine in the morning and they have come back early hours the next day. Yesterday took one about 7.30pm. has anyone else done one later in the day and.if so when did your results come through?

We have quite a lot of things planned for the next couple of days and dh gets very stressed waiting for results. He thinks I am overcautious with testing (I probably am). These tests were because of 2 lateral flows that turned positive, but after the time limit.

I do think I am quicker than most to book a test and probably over react, but I can't deal with anxiety if I have any doubts. Would hate to pass anything on.

ILoveToads · 11/08/2021 19:36

On Sunday 9.30am test, results 11 hours later
