Hi!
Just wondering how long it takes for PCR results at the moment...

OP posts:
ShortDaze · 04/12/2021 16:24

22 hours and 17 hours, last few days.

123ZYX · 04/12/2021 16:33

I was just about to ask about this. We're up to 30 hours with no result yet. Previous tests have all been less than 24 hours

FFSFFSFFS · 04/12/2021 16:35

Just realised I posted mine on Thursday and still nothing!

Clarkey86 · 04/12/2021 16:55

I’ve been waiting 31 hours for my drive thru one and it’s not here yet

fingersdoublecrossed · 04/12/2021 16:56

I'm on about 30 hours as well.

There's quite a few threads on this already. Mine was 60 hours (2.5 days)

hobag82 · 04/12/2021 18:07

I posted mine Tuesday and got my results by email at 2:50am this morning (Saturday). Followed by the text at around 7am

RozHuntleysStump · 04/12/2021 18:29

About 36 hours the other day. On hour 28 of waiting for latest one.

Christmas3143 · 04/12/2021 18:33

We are in the southwest and have had tests (not postal) in the last week or so. All been back within 14-15 hours. We might be just lucky though!

WorriedGiraffe · 04/12/2021 18:34

36 hours a few days ago

Jellykat · 04/12/2021 18:37

I'm having one collected tomorrow by courier, and have been told anything up to 72 hours atm.

CatherineCawood · 04/12/2021 18:39

Posted mine on Thursday at 2pm. Received by testing centre just before midnight. Still not heard anything.

However I've not done an at-home PCR before and didn't realise until last night that I had to register it! Doh! Have registered it now.

mrsdolittle · 04/12/2021 18:39

30 hours and still waiting. Previously have always been back within 24. Am in South West

I'm West Yorkshire also, and mine was 60 hours, fingers crossed it comes back sooner for you.
