Covid

Members of my family went to a testing centre on Saturday and were told 48 hours for the result. In fact the result was sent by text and e mail yesterday.

Oh thanks a lot so maybe tomorrow?

When I went to a testing centre just down the road, just before it closed late one afternoon, my result was with me by both text and email by breakfast time the following morning.

Until recently I did the tests every week and the results were usually back in around 2 to 3 days. (including weekends)
I did always have the tracking number, but I did once post an empty box.

MissAdventure. Can you do the PCR test more than once then?

I presume so.
I had to do it twice weekly for work at the height of lockdown.

It depends how many are going through. We had one that took 5 days, but most come back within 3 days. It sounds like he has it though as that is exactly how my son was when he was positive a couple of weeks ago. Makes sure you open all your windows and he rests. My son found an antihistamine helped with the symptoms too

Oh yes JaneJudge im sure he has it and just got a text from my DS to say my nephew has it too. I just hope they have got the test really.

It was next morning for me. I was impressed!

My son posted his on Saturday morning in a priority box and got the negative result at lunchtime today .
5 more days of isolation for him .

My DH got the results last night he is positive no surprise there 8 more days isolation.

I hope he feels better soon. We had to have PCR tests ourselves too Rosycheeks (which were negative) and the NHS advised us to isolate longer on top so do check if you need to test yourself

Oh yes JaneJudge ive sent off for the test. My DH said thankyou.
