NW England, 12:30pm test, 9pm same day result, I was very impressed!

tigerbear · 24/09/2021 22:14

1 hour, with a private testing company! Was amazed!!!

Lucythewonderdog · 24/09/2021 22:34

Nhs testing was pretty quiet in April due to the lockdown. Expect around 24-48 these days 119 will not escalate until 72 hours have passed and even then you may not receive your results for another 3 days. If it’s a critical situation then I suggest you pay for a private test.

Gloucestershire drive through test at 9am on Thursday, results at about 11pm. Test booked at 7.30am so all done within a day.

Much slower for us this time. Last time was within 24 hours, this time 29 and 36 hours (this week)

1309username · 25/09/2021 14:43

Sent my mail on Wednesday. Still waiting to hear.
They’ve told me they’re now investigating and should get back to me within 48 hours.

Pretty pissed off to be honest

CharlieBrown65 · 25/09/2021 14:48

My sister tested at 10am and results back at 2pm. We were SO surprised as normally about 20 hours here.

GorgeousGoldies · 25/09/2021 14:51

48 hours and still waiting. So frustrating due to things that we’ve had to cancel, but I wonder if the labs have been scaled down recently? In the summer, results were coming back in under 24 hours.

middleager · 25/09/2021 15:19

This week we had
26 hrs
26hrs
34 hrs

Last year 32 hrs.

Namechange1million · 25/09/2021 15:21
