There's an outbreak of Covid-19 in my city. I did three times of PCR test within four days and the results are all negative. I wrote a sentence to express the idea:

I took the PCR tests three times within four days and they all turned negative.

Is my sentence natural?

See above.
 
A shorter way of saying that is:

I got three negative PCR [test] results in four days.
 
It's definitely wrong to say 'I did three times of PCR test within four days ... '
