The test result has just been out
The test result has just been released.
Which one is more appropriate and correct?
 
1. The test result has just been out. :cross:
2. The test result has just been released. :tick:

Which one is [STRIKE]more appropriate and[/STRIKE] correct?

Sentence 1 is not grammatically correct. Sentence 2 is grammatically correct but only works if you are talking about one result of one test. If you're talking about a test (like an exam) that many people have taken, use "The test results have just been released".

You can't ask us whether they're appropriate because we have no idea in what context you want to use it. Context is really the only guide to appropriateness.
 
Thank you
It was one of our staff members' medical test for Covid-19.
 
Thank you.
It was one of our staff members' medical test for Covid-19.

In that case, I'd say "His/Her Covid test result is in" or "He's/She's got his/her Covid test result".
 
Thank you

Thank you.

GoesStation's advice is good - there is no need for such a post. We will leave that one in place but remember to end every sentence, however short, with a closing punctuation mark.
