I was given no timeline on when results would be received. Just rushed through. I found this thread from about a month ago where it was taking awhile: https://www.reddit.com/r/Austin/comments/gch8ul/anyone_know_how_long_the_free_city_covid_testing/
Hopefully the turnaround is faster now, anyone got some data points?

3-5 days when I was tested a couple weeks ago, took the full five days to get my results.
Same day for some providers. But I think it was through insurance.
My husband was tested through the assessment from APH, and it was about 2 days. this was last week.
2 days is what I experienced
I had one done last Thursday and still no results.
I was tested on Saturday, May 23rd and got my results back Friday, May 29th. So for me it took 6 days, but that was Memorial Day weekend.
I took a test Tuesday morning and had results at 9:30pm last night.
I’ve gone to mueller drive in test site twice now. Took 4 days for the first and I’m on day 3 of the second with no results yet so I’m guessing 4 is the average.
I got tested on Tuesday morning, have not received results yet.
I took a covid test on Monday via ARC drive-thru and was emailed my results less than 24 hours later - mind you, it was for a surgery I had yesterday so may have been prioritized. I was surprised how fast it came back, though... I had presumed the test itself took longer to achieve the results (ie. sit in some Petri dish or whathaveyou).
Wildly varies. Two friends of mine are waiting on results from tests last Thursday. One of mine got his yesterday from a test taken Monday. APH seems most consistent at 2-3 days.
Oh. And out of the 15 or so I know who have gotten them? Not one was infected. Ya know why? Statistics. Neither are you, so don't worry. I know saying that doesn't necessarily help, but keep the faith in the numbers!

Do you need any symptoms or do they just do it?
I have the same question 👀
I got tested with no symptoms. I also got results in 2 days.
Where at? (Sorry if you already answered this)
