Hi there,
best thing to do is to check if the turf has rooted properly before you mow it.
You can do this pretty easily by just gently lifting up one of the corners and having a look at the roots, if it is rooted then you will clearly see a lot of little white roots coming out of the bottom!
A couple of weeks is usually an ample amount of time before you can walk on it.
If it sinks when you go on then try to leave a couple more days so that it doesn't cause uneven bumps in the lawn, but I shouldn't think you will have much of a problem.
I hope this has helped you out.
Enjoy your new lawn once the weather cheers up!
