Midtown, central and east-end almost COVID-free on map
Leaside, Cabbagetown, Victoria Village and the Beach all have something in common in these late-summer days of pandemic.
None of these neighbourhoods have experienced new cases of COVID-19 so far in August, according to Toronto’s interactive coronavirus map today.
They and other neighbourhoods in their areas are unshaded on the colour-coded map, indicating zero cases in the past 21 days.
This does not mean, of course, that no one in these areas is carrying the virus or that we no longer have to take precautions in these areas, just that no cases have been reported recently.
The few shaded neighbourhoods in the midtown, central, east end and Don Valley areas — such as Bedford Park-Nortown, The Annex, Old East York and Flemingdon Park — have one to three cases which is still light, compared to some downtown and suburban parts of Toronto with new cases in the double digits.
The map on the city’s COVID-19: Status of Cases in Toronto page reports confirmed and probable cases in neighbourhoods across the city. It can be set to show accumulated cases since the virus began appearing or the cases found in the past 21 days. The figures can be presented either as raw data or as cases per 100,000 population.
This distribution of recent cases largely parallels the spread of coronavirus cases on the accumulated map, with a few exceptions.
Most midtown and east end communities show 10 to 35 cases since the beginning, much lower than the worst-hit areas of Toronto showing cases in the hundreds.
Accumulated totals for central and Don Valley neighbourhoods have edged somewhat higher, though not as high as the hardest hit neighbourhoods.
