Mine was 8am. I have a meeting tomorrow with a very vulnerable person and don't want to cancel yet if there is a chance of it coming back negative later today. But I do want to give sufficient notice.

Any chance it coming back today I am wondering.

My son had one at 11am on Sunday, results were 8am yesterday (Monday).

I had one at 9am yesterday and I got the results just after 5pm the same day. I'm not sure if it's because I'm a keyworker or if they're just really efficient.

9am walk in, results back just after midnight.

I did a postal one on DS last week. It got collected at 5.30pm on the Tuesday and we had the results back just before 3pm Wednesday

Thanks all, I think I will have to cancel the meeting then. Shame, but better than last minute.

I had mine 11am yesterday and got my (positive) result at 5am today.

I've known people whose results took up to 5 days though I think most people hear back the next day.

We had 4 pcr tests yesterday at 12:30 and had the results (1 positive and 3 negative) by 8:00 this morning. I expected them when I woke up at 6:50 (based on prior experience) but they didn’t come in till 8.

Had 3 PCRs yesterday at 0915, results were back at 2am this morning. Unfortunately 2/3 (the DCs) were positive Sad

3 PCRs done in my household (always at the same drive through location), done early morning or Midday. Results always received at around 6am the following day.

I had mine in less than 12 hours!

WhatMattersMost · 04/08/2021 13:43

Ah - possibly too late :)

TheRealKateAdie · 04/08/2021 13:44

Midday test, results 8am the following day.
