The City Of Toronto

Currently, Barrie has an overall total of 408 confirmed cases of COVID-19, a stark contrast to Toronto, which has well over 26,000.

In fact, multiple neighbourhoods in Toronto are reporting more cases than Barrie, including Glenfield-Jane Heights and York University Heights.

The city's high infection rate has forced it to revert back to a modified stage two of Ontario's reopening plan.

As of Tuesday, the province was sitting at a total of 72,051 confirmed COVID-19 cases.
