Richmond Council has found that 70 of its recent confirmed Covid-19 cases are young people who were tested away from London – as far away as Durham.
Cllr Gareth Roberts, council leader, has now called for an urgent review of the accuracy of the data.
There have been 421 positive test results in Richmond upon Thames since September 20.
As part of the council's review of the data, to identify any trends or linkages, it has found:
- 40 per cent (117 tests) are missing the location of where the individual was tested
- of these, 70 were tested far away from London – including places such as Leeds, Exeter, Manchester and Durham
