PCR results - how long?

Anyone know how long results are taking. Think my last one was only 11 hours but that was a while ago. It’s London if that makes any difference. Thanks!

Our were all under 24 hours (London).

test at 5.30pm, results 1pm next day (midlands)

I did a postal one this week.
Results took about 45 hours after it had been delivered to the lab. I had been hoping it would be far quicker than that but I guess they had a lot to do.

AgnesNaismith · 11/09/2021 10:21

@ScarlettSunset did you get notified when they arrived at the lab?

Autumngoldleaf · 11/09/2021 10:28

Yes been very good at the moment did test 3pm back 11 am next day.

Going a bit crazy here - did one at 11 yesterday, still nothing 29 hours later. They're usually well within 24 hours. East of England. Arrrgh.

I had a test on Saturday morning and got the result on Monday evening. DD had a test on Thursday evening and we are still waiting.
Swansea area.........cases are really high here so it may be due to an increase in testing..............

I used the tracking details to see when it had been delivered

I took my DD to a walk-in centre last night, tested at 7pm. Her results just pinged in this morning at 8.30. That’s impressive!

How long did your results take in total? I’ve been waiting over 25 hours now…
Awcw1234 · 12/09/2021 18:45

Still no results 😩

OddestSock · 12/09/2021 18:48

Dd had a test at 8am yesterday, had an email with the result early hours of this morning (greater Manchester)

@Awcw1234

Still no results 😩
We eventually got the result around 7pm, so about 32 hours? So annoying.
Nameisjustaname · 13/09/2021 10:51

Dd had walk in at 9.30am Friday and had test and trace ringing me Saturday morning.
I missed the call and checked texts, arrived at 8am Saturday morning and it was positive Sad
We are in Oxford.

BentBastard · 13/09/2021 11:27

Test was yesterday at 4pm. Results at 6am today, so 14 hours over a Sunday night. Pretty pleased, especially as meant he could go to school today after all!
