Delays In Getting COVID-19 Test Results

The Health Authority says there are delays in processing COVID test results and issuing notifications because of the high volume of tests.

People are being encouraged to sign up for e-mail notification of negative test results.

However, the Health Authority says it may take longer than 72 hours for people to get their results.

It says it may take five to seven days to get results through the test results phoneline.
