How long for PCR results?

[Landof]

How long are they tending to take these days?

I posted mine on at about 11 am on Saturday morning (priority box) and got a text and email at about 9 am on Sunday.

The last one I did-test 9am, results 1030pm.

Both DH and DS1 have had theirs back within 24 hours - tested 9 am got results by 7am the next day.

I did one last week at about 12.45. Got my results at 21.15

DH tested at 10am yesterday back about 6am this morning.

Wow amazing timings. Thanks.

Dc tested at 5.30 on Tuesday evening and I tested at 5.30 the same night.

Both results arrived at 7.15am the next morning.

We’re in south wales

Sorry, my test was an hour later at 6.30pm

Our last 3 have been back within 16 hours

My husbands done at a centre came back within 24hours. Mine via post we are still waiting for. Posted Tuesday before last post in a priority box. Now Thursday morning and still waiting for the results.

I did a home PCR on Tuesday for my son (sent on the same day, probably picked up about 4:30pm) still no result. I went to a drive through test site yesterday at 2:30pm still no results. From what I’ve read and heard everyone is getting them back so quick. Not me unfortunately! In the South East.

Tested at 4pm at the walk-in centre, result (positive ) back at 4pm the next day. Very impressed!

Last one we did for my DD was 2 weeks ago, took 3.5 days and I had to chase it twice.

@3cats4poniesandababy I hope you have heard back now?

@Tinysnickers wow that is a long time! I havent heard of it taking that long since last year.

Reading this I'm hopeful mine will be back in the morning then.

Blimey. Some of these are awful. We have a low threshold for testing i think but if we were all stuck at home for 3 1/2 days every time someone got tested I might not be so quick to get it done.

Let me add to that that every test we’ve had done has been negative.

Postal one sent off Tuesday afternoon, postbox collection 4pm, arrived at the lab around 11pm, results 1pm Wednesday.

One of DS last year took 6 days! But at that point they wouldn't chase it until 7 days had passed so nothing we could do. And that was when whole household had to isolate so we all spent half term stuck indoors for nothing

Posted my husband's at lunchtime on tuesday and he got his results yesterday about 2pm.

Posted mine at lunchtime yesterday and still waiting for mine :( I need to go out, we've run out of milk!

He's a keyworker and was positive if that makes a difference; I'm expecting to be negative.

Posted dgs home test Tuesday still waiting for results! He's year 2 and been off now all week. When I've had them done at the walk through centre the results are usually back within 24 hours.

I had a test at a walk through centre yesterday at 2pm. My results came at 6.30pm today (negative) so about 28 hours.

DD2 & I went to a walk-in testing centre at about midday on Monday, the results (negative) were back by 6.30 am the next day.

22 hours for DS a few weeks ago

21 hours for us earlier this week

These are quick. At what point can we now chase them up?
