Toronto's Waterfront community seeing most new cases in the city - News Summed Up

Toronto's Waterfront community seeing most new cases in the city


Waterfront Communities-The Island, a neighbourhood that covers much of the city's entertainment district and waterfront condos, saw the most reported new cases in Toronto, as of Sept. 15 according to city data. Lower-income neighbourhoods where experts say health inequities are prevalent still contain the majority of Toronto's cases, however. While this neighbourhood is facing increased levels of community spread of the virus, public health officials are having difficulties determining how roughly half of Ontario's new cases became infected. Those neighbourhoods still are seeing higher rates of infection according to city data, even as the Waterfront neighbourhood is experiencing more community spread. Eighty-three percent of Toronto's COVID-19 cases are Black people and other people of colour, according to July data from the City of Toronto.
