The Province of Ontario provides a detailed summary of COVID-19 cases in the province that is updated each day at 10:30 a.m.
These maps illustrate the distribution of COVID-19 cases across our city, as suggested by their home address. The maps do not necessarily reflect risk of acquiring COVID-19 nor where cases were exposed to the disease.
These maps are intended to provide information to help prevention strategies reach those people most affected. COVID-19 is circulating in all parts of our city and all residents should follow public health advice to reduce the spread of this virus.
Maps include cases from outbreaks in long-term care and other institutional settings. These can be removed by using the filter on the map (remove the OB Associated cases). When using the maps below, hover over the neighbourhoods to view numbers (counts) and other relevant information. Learn more about Toronto neighbourhoods, including what neighbourhood you live in.

The list of active outbreaks includes only the names of those schools in Toronto with a confirmed COVID-19 outbreak. The following definitions of an outbreak and how long it is considered active (i.e., when it is declared over) are provided by the Ministry of Health in their COVID-19 guidance: school outbreak management document.
An outbreak in a school is defined as: two or more lab-confirmed COVID-19 cases in students and/or staff (or other visitors) in a school with an epidemiological link, within a 14-day period, where at least one case could have reasonably acquired their infection* in the school (including transportation and before/after school care).
*Examples of reasonably having acquired infection in school include:
· No obvious source of infection outside of the school; OR
· Known exposure in the school setting
An outbreak is declared over when: at least 14 days have passed with no evidence of ongoing transmission that could reasonably be related to exposures in the school; AND No further ill individuals associated with the initial exposed cohorts with tests pending.
Schools and school boards are required to communicate details regarding any closures to their school communities. If parents/guardians have questions about what is happening in their school, they should contact the school board or school directly.
Daily updates for active outbreaks in Toronto long-term care homes can now be accessed on the Ontario Ministry of Health website.
Data on active outbreaks in retirement homes and hospitals (also available in Excel) are updated by Toronto Public Health three times per week, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, except on statutory holidays. This report contains a summary of all currently active outbreaks of COVID-19 in Toronto retirement homes and hospitals, with confirmed resident and staff cases, hospitalizations and deaths. All data are extracted from iPHIS (integrated Public Health Information System) and CORES, and may differ from other numbers published elsewhere due to different reporting sources or download times. Please note these data may not align with other data on active outbreaks due to the difference in refresh times. These numbers are preliminary, and will continue to change as new information is received, and quality assurance work takes place.
Access data about active COVID-19 outbreaks in Toronto shelters (also available in Excel) as of October 13 at 2 p.m. To date, there have been a total of 649 positive COVID-19 cases linked to all shelter outbreaks (current and declared over).

Our risk of illness is linked to how and where we live, work, and play. There is growing evidence that racialized populations and low income groups are more at risk of COVID-19. The reasons for this are unclear but could include:
Toronto Public Health (TPH) started collecting data on Indigenous identity, racial group, income, and household size on May 20, 2020. These data will be analyzed and summaries will be posted here monthly.
The data are used by TPH and partner organizations to reduce inequities in how COVID-19 infection is affecting the population. This work includes
Area-based analysis also shows that ethno-racial group and income are associated with reported COVID-19 infection.
