I’m waiting for a PCR test result at the moment. I’m in South Yorkshire. Took the test yesterday at 10:30 and was told 1-3 days.
How long are results taking at the moment for everyone else?

Took mine 27 hours ago and still waiting…

VictoryLap · 18/12/2021 12:17

Almost 48 hours here

OtherPlans · 18/12/2021 12:17

I did a postal test on Wednesday morning. I'm still waiting

VictoryLap · 18/12/2021 12:18

And still don't have it back

CactusFlowers · 18/12/2021 12:20

Apparently postal tests take ages at the minute - I know some who has been waiting three days so far. If you’re an essential worker they seem to come back faster.

Indecisivelurcher · 18/12/2021 12:20

4 days here... Thinking it might be lost.

Terminallysleepdeprived · 18/12/2021 12:21

South Yorkshire here too. Went to the testing drive thru at meadowhell this morning. Really hoping to get my result tomorrow morning.

bestbl · 18/12/2021 12:22

7 days for a postal 😫

Bubblty · 18/12/2021 12:23

3 days

MangoM · 18/12/2021 12:23

I'm in West Yorkshire, did drive through test at 9:00 yesterday and result came in ten minutes ago. So 27 hours ish.

Fingers crossed for a negative result for you soon.

Sloelydoesit · 18/12/2021 12:49

17 hours! I thought that was super quick. SE London - walk through centre

Flaxmeadow · 18/12/2021 13:01

4 days. Still waiting

McFarts · 18/12/2021 13:33

South Yorkshire here to, tests done yesterday at 10am, still waiting.

Karma1981 · 18/12/2021 13:43

Sw and its been nearly 48 hours.

DrunkenKoala · 18/12/2021 14:19

4 of us tested on Thursday 1.30. Results back between 24-27 hrs. Mix bag of results - positive, negative, inconclusive. (Inconclusive person has been retested today so currently on second stint of waiting for results).

DrunkenKoala · 18/12/2021 14:19

Forgot to say it was a drive through in Kent.

BellsaRinging · 18/12/2021 14:26

I was tested yesterday at 9 in a West Midlands drive through and had my results before 9 this morning.

Flippydip · 18/12/2021 15:49

18 hours. Test at midday yesterday, results 6am today.

Orarewedancer · 18/12/2021 15:56

Did a postal Thursday, sent off midday, not back yet.

Those that have done a postal one - have you tracked it on royal mail? 2 days later and mine still haven't appeared at the testing center.

mummytooneprincess · 18/12/2021 15:59

Had mine done at 16.30 on Thursday, still waiting for a result...am expecting a positive one though. We are in Gloucester.

OtherPlans · 18/12/2021 16:02

@Orarewedancer looking at tracking my postal test arrived with the testing centre yesterday morning apparently.

OtherPlans · 18/12/2021 16:02

So it took 48 hours to reach them

YetAnotherWalk · 18/12/2021 16:03

My postal test was 27 hours on Wednesday - result Thursday. Down South though...
