South Yorkshire, last week the PCR from a walk in appointment took exactly 36 hours

37 hours for one and still waiting for the other (done at the same time). Normally the wait is about 24 hours for us so much longer this time.

North Yorkshire.

24 hours. Mail was collected from Priority mailbox at 3pm on Monday, result back at 3pm yesterday.

OpalOwl · 22/12/2021 10:04

Im at 90+ hours now.
Asthmatic with a permanent cough in winter made the mistake of coughing on the phone to the receptionist while asking about an unrelated issue. Doctor now wont see me until negative pcr.
Negative lfts everyday for the last 10 days. I'd be out of isloation now anyway.

Shmithecat2 · 22/12/2021 10:05

Notts - less than 24 hours each time.

Happyrascalsmummy · 22/12/2021 10:16

50 hours, whole household plus MIL had tests and results all came back within 30 minutes of each other. Mine was inconclusive so retested straight away and that result was back after 29 hours. Test area Wirral.

wingingit987 · 22/12/2021 10:58

Thanks everyone we've had someone test positive on a lft in the house.

We're booked to go out Xmas day so hoping we'll be able to get a refund the sooner we no.

Bananarice · 22/12/2021 12:45

When was this? We're in Manchester - waiting for 51 hours so far and hoping we get a result before we're due to fly to family for Christmas tomorrow morning!
Iggly · 22/12/2021 13:02

Sussex. First PCRs were back in less than 24 hours.
Second ones - it’s been nearly 24 hours and no joy.
These are for drive through.

Postal one sent on Saturday. Nothing.
