5 positive LFTs but 33hrs since PCR

and not heard. I am taking it that my daughter has Covid and our xmas is not happening with our family.
Just strange how PCR is taking so long....

I did a postal PCR on Friday as a contact of Omicron, and I’ve not heard yet 🤷🏻‍♀️ I think they must be overwhelmed

Have you done all 5 tests on your dd ?

well she is 19 and home from uni and done 5 positive LFTs. I also have a 15 and 7 yr old in the house and we are all negative so far

Just strange how PCR is taking so long....

Not strange at all, more people are testing just now...

33 hours really isn't that long considering how many people must be testing at the moment.

33 hours isn't that long really, I've had tests take that long when rates were much lower. I've seen a few people say three days for tests recently.

3-4 days seems common at the moment for pcr.

The aim is within 48 hours. I’m nhs and am supposed to get mine within 24 hours but dd2 came back within 8 hours negative and dh I had to call about and his was positive (like his lft). No idea why he didn’t get a text. It updated on the app soon after.

Incredibly rare to get a false positive on lft. She’s positive hope she stays well x

In the past week we’ve had pcrs that were 46 hours, 14 hours and 19 hours all from the same drive through place. 33 isn’t uncommon although it’s frustrating to wait.

I wouldn't class 32 hours as long.

That was our average time for 3 separate tests on different days in September, when it wasn't at a peak either.

Or 33 hours...
