DD had one at 8.30 this morning- wondering if there's any chance of an 8 hour turnaround so she can see school play this eve....

We had one back in 11hrs once, usually it’s around 24 though.

@WholeClassKeptIn in NW went to Cheshire to test centre.

WholeClassKeptIn · 19/11/2021 13:45

So over 48 hours here. Does ringing 119 make any difference? She's missing sport/im missing work/we have a theatre trip planned :(

DGFB · 19/11/2021 14:01

No, makes no difference. It’s only after five days that you can get a trace put on it. Hope it comes back soon.
As somebody who has only just got over Covid and felt dreadful, please don’t go out

WholeClassKeptIn · 19/11/2021 14:02

😔.

We're all going out, but taking it in turns to sit at home with my daughter.

WholeClassKeptIn · 19/11/2021 14:09

It's rubbish they take 5 days. I kind of want to do another one now to see if we are one of the lucky 24hour results.

She probably doesnt have covid and we could be isolating all these days for no reason :(

DGFB · 19/11/2021 14:34

It’s really hard 😞 Try 119 anyway, just in case you get lucky

Waiting on one for my DD. She had it just before 11am. Anyone know what the turnaround time is like for the Heathrow drive through testing centre?

Greytminds · 19/11/2021 19:55

We finally got ours back this morning - almost 3 days after the test. They did warn this would be the case but much slower than previously. It was negative!

11am test 9.30pm result.
10am test 1.30am result.

Took one today at 10am. Will likely come in during the early hours of night.

The email came through at 4.52am. So 18 hours.

Did one at a walk in and got results that evening.

Quickest home test was 11am the next day.

LilyGlobe · 22/11/2021 07:10

Friday tested 4pm, results 5am Saturday morning.
Sunday tested 10am at the same centre, results 7am this morning.

SE England.

I’ve recently waited seven days for a PCR.

@thepeopleversuswork

I’ve recently waited seven days for a PCR.
After 3 days I give up and do another one. I have to take so many I can't risk waiting around for a lost one
