    Hi, Has anyone used the boots covid test service?

    It states the results are messaged to you the next day in a text.

    Has anyone used the service, and were the results back within 24 hours or longer?


    Not sure whether to book it..

    Thanks.

    If you think you need a test why don't you ring GP and they can refer you?

    Won't cost you anything compared to Boots.

    I don't have symptoms, the boots testing service is not for people with symptoms, it's for travel/work related or 'peace of mind' tests.

    I need the result for Monday, that's why I can't do the HSE one either, as they could give me the test date any date within the next week really.

    Thanks, that's good but I don't have symptoms, and I need to time the test perfectly within a 72 hour period that's why I'm getting it Sunday morning in boots and hoping for the results by monday, it states on Boots website the results are the following day , but I'm just being extra cautious :rolleyes:
