database and therefore not included in the mapping. Demographic info: 2016 censusNew data released this week by Toronto Public Health shows that low-income neighbourhoods with higher proportions of racialized people and new immigrants are being hardest hit by COVID-19.

“The pattern it’s pointing to is not all that surprising, and I think it does fit with what we’re seeing on the ground,” said Gary Bloch, a family physician at Toronto’s St. Michael’s Hospital who is treating homeless people who have tested positive for COVID-19. Neighbourhoods in the northwest part of the city, which tend to be poorer and more racialized, also have a high proportion of cases. The Glenfield-Jane Heights and Black Creek neighbourhoods have 938 and 787 cases per 100,000, respectively.In those neighbourhoods, many people live in high-rise buildings, often with multiple families in one unit, which makes physical distancing almost impossible, said Michelle Dagnino, director of the Jane/Finch Community and Family Centre.

After reporting 128 new cases on May 22 – Peel’s highest one-day tally since the peak in April – the daily numbers have begun to fall again. But the region’s seven-day rolling average, which smooths out daily blips, shows the case count has been sloping gently upward.
