My OH test was 34 hours and they texted after 9pm. My own was just today but they said 3-5 days turnaround. When I queried that he said he has to say that but I could still get a result in 24

It's the new handball centre. Parking available right outside. Follow the signage on Clonliffe Road. Google maps brought me to old handball alley. Hope you're alright!

Thanks! I hope that's just a cold cough, I have not lost the sense of smell or taste. Fingers crossed.

Well, 35 positive out of 147 tested is a positivity rate of almost 24% - so by this metric boards is exceptionally high when compared to the rest of the population.

Weird, but for a different reason.

Quick question folks. Child was a close contact and got the results of the second test. The date to restrict movements is the 28th but the nurse said second test negative so no need to restrict movement anymore. What's the story there.

How about you protect your community and keep
your child in and away from all others until 28th.

fabo1thecross

I will be. No worries.
But you would wonder why a health care worker would even suggest that. And how many more people were told this very thing and thought notting about it.

Just tested in Ennis at the drive through at Cusack Park, in and out in ten minutes, and the test was painless...

I'm showing no symptoms but I was a close contact with a positive family member.
Fingers crossed.

Apols, didn't read the whole thread, but I'm wondering if anyone has been tested more than twice due to contact tracing and close contact.

Me and the kids were tested twice, but was told that if anyone shows any symptoms between second test and day 14 of restricted movements I’ve to call for a third one. So I assume some people have.

I got tested at Beacon Hospital ED on Tuesday as I presenting with worsening asthma and joint pain and they wanted to rule out Covid. Was put in a cubicle for about 30 minutes as I awaited Covid result, which was negative, then allowed out in the general waiting area pending other tests. So that particular test only took 30 mins, it was charged in the ED general change which is capped at €560, the receipt which I can submit with the others for general outpatient expenses from VHI.

Do you know what test it was and how accurate it is?

Anyone know how long results are taking now? Family member was tested at 12.30pm today.
Hope we get result tomorrow.

GP told me this morning that virus was not detected. Still havent been notified almost 48 hours later. Its too long!

Edit got text just around 48 hours after swab taken.

2nd test on Monday - 2nd time I don't have it, meaning my hospital day-case procedure tomorrow goes ahead (1st test was also ahead of a hospital admission)

paw patrol

1st person close to me had covid since this started.


found out they tested positive and was told to isolate for a period (think 10 or 14 days) .
then let loose on society. no test to confirm they are free of covid.

Is this the case?


Seems a bit odd to just assume they are covid free cos of so many days passing...seems bizarre given the whole western world has collapsed over it that the HSE would be so blaise?

The days only are included if they are symptom free. If they display any symptoms, they are still under quarantine.
Here in Finland where i am, 4 days after your last symptoms stop. You are free. You are considered to have enough anti-bodies to kill the virus and no symptoms that would likely spread it further.

Thanks for that

i get you but consider many people including this person were asymptomatic -

Why isolate asymptomatic people at all then?


I just see a hole in the logic - in that it just seems like a bit of a guess.
Which is fine in normal circumstances except we are going to such trouble to stop the spread.

For those who got tested and had symptoms especially had a child get tested . What were the symptoms?
Our kid returned home from school today with what looks like a heavy cold but also has a sore throat and headache. No temperature but Some vomiting also so hoping it’s just a tummy bug.
We will contact GP in morning and keeping other kids home tomorrow as a precaution.
No close contacts only school and home and same as rest of household.
