Anyone got any current info?

Going to a London walk in centre tomorrow 9am... any chance it'll be back that same day?

We did a post one for the second time first time we got back the day after posting, this time we are 2 days after posting and still no results. I’ve got a very well little girl possibly missing out on education. We can’t go to a drive in as don’t have access to a car and don’t have a walk in one nearby. So I guess it just depends

Sorry to hear... hopefully soon...
In Oct I went to walk in centre at 3pm and had the result back around 6pm next day. But not sure if it might have been sooner if I'd gone first thing or if it's busier as xmas approaches

I went yesterday at 9.30am and had my email at 5.20am this morning so less then 24hours. Not in London though

Hopefully it will come in tonight or in the morning, her school finishes tomorrow. Only done one to appease the school because she had the slightest cough which went the day after they sent her home. She’s tested negative on 5 pcr since last Friday ( we did them as she had a cold) she’s spitting chips waiting as she wants to go to school...

I’m not doing another one as by Monday she will have completed her 10 day and not going to school. I hate doing it on her. She is going to hit the roof as her best friends birthday is Sunday and she is invited around for dinner. So fingers crossed they get a move on 🤨

Walk in around 24 hours
Postal 36 hours

It's swings and roundabouts depending which lab they get sent to. My DH got tested at 8.30am and his result came in late that night, someone else I know who went to the same drive through a day later took 36 hours to get theirs back.

I had one on Tuesday at 1.30pm and got the result texted to me at 6.30am on Wednesday

BewareTheRedNosedDragon · 16/12/2021 19:04

Tested 1.30pm Tuesday, got result 3pm today

DS was tested at a drive-thru test centre at 10:30am on Weds and we received the result at 5:01pm this evening (Thurs).

It's positive unfortunately :(

Drive through 5pm Tuesday, result back 2pm Wednesday. It was positive though (they apparently take less time).
