PCR results delays?

16 replies

I assume that the lab closure will result in some delays. I’ve been waiting 36 hours now, and I was really hoping to get my PCR result before work tomorrow. Anyone else experiencing slowish results?
Apparently I need to wait 72 hours before chasing on 119.

Just got mine back 37 hours so not too bad, just hate the waiting and now DS is off school til after half term.

@pinkcattydude ah no! I hope he isn’t feeling too rough. I’m expecting the same for my DS, we had a positive LFT. I’m glad you got your results. Gives me hope that mine will turn up eventually.

How would they know which to prioritise before they test the sample? Confused

@Thingsthatgo have you rang them to check its at least i the system ?
I know it says x amount of days but no harm in calling and they were really helpful when I had this in the summer

Got mine after 49 hours - negative. Good luck to everyone waiting for results.

GiveMeDreamies · 16/10/2021 12:47

Got mine and DS's back this morning in less than 24 hours (both positive).

Where do you live OP?

Thingsthatgo · 16/10/2021 13:00

Results came in at last, and as expected! Positive for DS. He is fine, and happy to have a long half term holiday.

So many unfortunately positive DS is just snotty and tired. Hopefully that’s all he’ll get and hopefully out of isolation in time for half term
