I did nucleic acid yesterday. Why can't you get the results today? I didn't find it in the test either

Generally, the results will be obtained after 72 hours of nucleic acid testing, and the testing institution will notify the person with the test results separately within 48 hours, instead of issuing a report to the negative tester alone. If you don't receive the notice within 72-96 hours, all the results are negative.

For example, Mr. Yang, who came to Beijing on business from Tianjin, had a nucleic acid test at 73 1 Hospital in Fengtai District. Due to the delay in getting the results, the policy of taking the train is not to sit without the nucleic acid test results. At that time, it was said that it would take three working days to get it. Now a notice has been posted at the place where the report is taken, saying that it will take six working days and it is impossible to take the high-speed train back to Tianjin.

Extended data

The negative result of nucleic acid test is valid for 7 days.

The validity period is limited to 7 days, which is mainly determined according to the COVID-19 incubation period method. The incubation period in COVID-19 is usually 3 to 7 days, some people are less than 3 days, some people are more than 7 days, and the longest incubation period is 14 days. Therefore, 14 days is set as the observation period for close contacts.

A negative nucleic acid test means that the patient is not infected with the virus, or the sample may be destroyed due to irregular operation during the sample sampling process, or the false negative result may be caused by problems such as testing reagents and personnel. In addition, human samples should be sterilized at high temperature before extracting nucleic acid, and in this case, the result of negative nucleic acid test may also occur.
