How soon after a positive test would 'close contacts' be called?

My mum tested positive on a Sunday, we were contacted Monday

Mindymomo · 02/08/2021 12:32

They try to contact within 2 days from receiving details, but it doesn’t always work out that way.

roses2 · 02/08/2021 12:38

I got a text as soon as DH completed the form

iamtheoneandonlyyy · 02/08/2021 12:46

Do they send positive results by text please?

OP posts:

I had phone call and text message.

daphnedoo12 · 02/08/2021 12:49

If you've had a PCR and provided your number they'll send an email and a text to let you know if you're positive or negative

iamtheoneandonlyyy · 02/08/2021 12:50

I have a copy of the text but it won't let me post it grr

OP posts:
iamtheoneandonlyyy · 02/08/2021 12:53

Does anyone see the problem?

That does not look like a genuine result text - the wording is wrong.

daphnedoo12 · 02/08/2021 12:59

Did you enter a lateral flow positive result?

iamtheoneandonlyyy · 02/08/2021 12:59

That's what I thought. 'As soon as arch'

OP posts:
daphnedoo12 · 02/08/2021 12:59

That doesn't look like a PCR result

iamtheoneandonlyyy · 02/08/2021 13:09

Damn. I thought not, I was hoping for confirmation

OP posts:
iamtheoneandonlyyy · 02/08/2021 13:10

It's also a WhatsApp message and not a text which I find unlikely

OP posts:
roses2 · 02/08/2021 13:43

Definitely fake if it was whatsapp. When did you take the test and was it PCR or lateral flow?

However your original question is when are close contacts notified.

What is your actual question?

iamtheoneandonlyyy · 02/08/2021 13:44

Ex's mum and ex using it as an excuse not to see the kids. They said if he being contacted, this was his last chance, it's over now

@iamtheoneandonlyyy

That's what I thought. 'As soon as arch'
Also "has come back positive" would just read "is positive".

How would the NHS know to contact them if you didn't provide the tracers their details?
iamtheoneandonlyyy · 02/08/2021 14:02

No they're saying she has it and I'll be getting a phone call

OP posts:
WrongKindOfFace · 02/08/2021 14:06

That is definitely not a genuine message.

kimlo · 02/08/2021 14:31

the results they email and text. You get 2 of each one with the results and one with the code to put in to the app, so 4 all together.

Thats not a real one.

iamtheoneandonlyyy · 02/08/2021 14:34

He's done with now. I asked a solicitor what to do and then foolishly gave him another chance with them. No more

OP posts:
iamtheoneandonlyyy · 02/08/2021 20:24

Last time he forged one for himself. This time his mum did it for him. It's depressing
