PCR turnaround times?

[R1234567]

Does anyone know how long PCR tests are coming back at the moment?

Getting on for 55hrs here for a drive through, going mental waiting!! Hope we all get results soon!

Just over 24 hours for a walk in centre in North London. Dh’s, which was done at the same time, came back a few hours later. One positive, one negative.

Posted Friday and still waiting.

I'm in Essex. Went to walk in with my daughter Thurs afternoon, took 25 hours. Went same place but was much busier yesterday afternoon and I'm still waiting.

Just found my husband result in emails after 17 hours - positive
That's Christmas plans ruined

I did a postal test on Sunday, which was picked up at 3pm. The result came back at 3pm on Monday, so exactly 24 hours.

still waiting. 🤬🤬🤬

Is anyone on here in Yorkshire?

Did mine at 1pm, got it at 10am the next day

Sent mine off Saturday am and still waiting.... in London and NHS staff.

Me @vaguelyInteresting

DS saturday lunchtime (positive) , came through early hours today, mine done yesterday am, came through shortly after, so around 60 hours and 18 hours, both drive through.

Ended up 24.5 hours just long enough to miss the train 🙈

Still waiting …27 hours

Just got ours back so that was 68 hours in total

Look at my face -->

Rang 119 again this morning, spent 1hr 20 mins, got through quite quickly initially but then the man on the phone had to ring through to the results team, which was what meant I was on the line for such a long time as the results team are apparently so overwhelmed.

They have raised a missing result investigation (?) and said now if I don't hear back in 24 hours to retest!

My daughter was done on sat afternoon at a drive in, still waiting. In the south east. So about 70 hours so far. Government website now says you can’t call 119 till it’s been six days. I shit you not.

I am failing to see the point now.

I'm getting very very pissed off.

6 days?!

We're at 27 hours and counting. So frustrating.

Yup. That’s what the government website says now, don’t chase unless it’s been six days.

She’s still not got the result. Even if they lost it, there will be no point after the six days in going and doing it again, becayse the seventh day is Christmas Day. Plus she’s no symptoms and only went as she was close to someone for about twenty mins who tested positive. All her lateral flows are negative. It just seems bloody pointless. Booking it driving there, the whole thing. It’s a joke

Waiting on postal test from Friday. London.

Called to chase up and they said that I’d get a call from the chasers team in 1-2 days. The whole isolation period ends in 3 days as it took so long to receive the test in the first place

You can call and chase a test centre test results after 72 hours. Where is the link it says 6 days?

If you scroll down it now says 6 days: www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/testing/test-results/how-you-get-your-test-result/
