He is fine, in the US it takes on average 14 days to get the results in some places, even 18 days, you will be dead and buried a whole week before the results come back.
(tested on Monday around 9:30 in Rho airport)

The protocols have changed by the way, even if you get tested you do not have to self isolate anymore, you can do as you please, and they will only call you if you test positive. For a negative test, you will not be contacted.

How long did the wait for the testing and actual testing take, any rough estimates? I need to book transportation from the airport (ATH) in advance and need some estimates.

Folks, those of you who follow the Aegean forum will certainly remember a similar "numerology" thread a few years back concerning a number printed on the letter (or envelope) received from M+B with the new gold card. I may remind the born-again numerologists that, back then, after lots of posts, the conclusion of that story was that the number was meaningless. 
1 = tested (if tests still available)
2 = not tested

Possibly silly question re the form. It lets you list your travel companions. Does that mean those people don't need to fill in their own form, or does everyone need to fill one in anyway?
TIA!
ETA: an earlier traveller says it is indeed one form per family.

People on another forum I follow are saying they were tested with a #2 .
Maybe they change codes every few days perhaps if those people on the other forum are right? Or maybe that was an unique situation in which all people on the plane are tested with sample testing being dropped for the occasion? (which did happened before a few times)
I'm still curious as there must be a system some way or the other.

1 for swabbing, 2 free to go appears correct. This morning in ATH I had 1 and was sent for testing, my partner had 2 and was sent straight to passport control. Medic said they would contact me within 24 hrs only if +ve. They don’t inform you if -ve.

So it's random then as you are both flying from the same area? I guess they just test 'at risk' people randomly as they do not have enough tests.

How long did the wait+ testing take? Was the swabbing through the mouth or nose?

I am due to fly to Athens from Zurich on Friday
I filled the new PLF (Passenger Locator Form) online yesterday. However I only got an e-mail that they will be in touch shortly but no QR code.
Still nothing received today.
has anyone already received their QR code? How long did it take
