In fact, the City reports that Downsview-Roding has seen 184 new cases in 21 days.

When compared to other neighbourhoods, there is quite a difference in numbers. 

For example, Alderwood, an area located in Toronto's west end, confirmed just two cases over the same period.

Bayview Woods-Steeles only reported eight cases and the Annex reported 12.  

Meanwhile, Woburn, the neighbourhood that has the second-highest case count, recorded 149.

Due to Toronto's high case numbers, the city is currently under Ontario's stay-at-home order, which is set to lift on March 8.
