Send a email and ask for result. If they did it in house, you should get results before weekend. If the sent it out to a reference lab, it may not be back before weekend.

My dad was tested on the 28th and got his results today. So it took 11 days.

Not too bad. He was negative thankfully.

what happened to the 5 min tests?


The rapid tests are poo

The fastest “good” tests can result in a few hours

Just found out that the BR Clinic sends the swabs to Woman's Hospital for analysis and that the machine at Woman's was down yesterday and this morning causing delays. I wonder if the free tests are sent to the same place?

I've had 2 test done. First one was at BR Clinic before I could have a procedure done, the guy shoved the damn q-tip through my nose into my brain for what felt like 30 seconds That was a 2 day turnaround for results

The 2nd one I took was about a month ago when I was feeling sick, and the Lake Urgent Care suggested I get one. It was the rapid test. The tech basically rolled the swab around my nose for a couple of seconds, I'm not sure it really even got in there good. Not even close to the feeling of the first test I had done. It too was negative.

I have no idea if the rapid test was just done wrong at the Urgent Care, but it was a totally different experience and feeling than the "long result" test

Lol so if you test positive, do you still have to quarantine for 14 more days to re-test? Then another 15 days for those results?

So, a 44 day quarantine?




10 day minimum from the onset of symptoms and at least 3 days symptom-free I *think* are still the guidelines.

The swab advances between my first and second swabs made all the difference. First one felt like a sword going into my brain.
