A turn around time of 24-36 hours should be easily achievable for the performing lab, depending on the time of day the specimen arrives (morning vs afternoon). It takes about 1 hour for the initial RT-PCR amplification, and sequencing takes about 12 hours.

Thanks - that's not too bad.

If people can sort out logistics well enough then it sounds like it could be extremely helpful for implementing broad scale testing.
